Retirement Day For Cerwin!

 

The last time in the seat of his Ferrellgas truck was shortly after noon today.

 

Giving final instructions to Joe – the driver who is taking his place.

 

 

 

 

Cerwin pulled these tanks for 36 of the 40 years he drove propane truck – out of the same location – even though the company changed hands a few times.

He spent the first year driving a 10-wheeler and doing service work, then pulled a semi propane tank for three years.  During those 40 years he drove five trucks.

How to you like this “action” shot of me bowling?

 

If you think the boys look discouraged while looking at the score board, it is because I won both games!  After this we went out for an early supper.

Retirement for Cerwin will not mean playing golf or relaxing.  As of January 1, he will be serving as Director of Chapel Construction for Transport For Christ.  He has been on staff with TFC since 1990 – on a volunteer basis – and is anxious to devote even more time to our favorite ministry…

Leading truck drivers as well as the trucking community to Jesus Christ and helping them grow in their faith.
