“I know everybody on my route. I know everybody by name. I can literally sort my route with no addresses on it,” Laliberte said.

But on July 19, he walked his route for the last time exactly 40 years since he had started his career at the Post Office. Signs decorated Church Street as Laliberte walked along, receiving congratulations and goodbyes from residents.
