Letter carrier Alan Robidoux is a man of quiet strength and few words.
“The customers mean a lot to me. They are almost like family,” said Robidoux. “I’ve known a lot of them for many years.”
Yet, it isn’t only the humans on his route that Robidoux can claim as friends.
“Every dog loves him, and every family loves him. He’s my dog’s best friend,” said Molly Delehey, who lives on Robidoux’s route.
“That’s the magic of Alan.”
Delehey — along with Patricia Donahue, Liv Woods, and Amy Reichle — helped organize a November 30 neighborhood retirement party for Robidoux.
“He’s an integral part of our lives,” she continued. “He pays attention all the time.”
