Every day for 24 years, Bill Buda walked the same route between Silver Lake Village and Stow, Ohio.
A USPS mail carrier for 31 years, Bill, 59, exemplified dedication, putting his heart and soul into his career. He built lasting relationships with the families he served, often watching their children grow up, and only took a sick day twice.
At one point in his career, he wore a different sports team’s hat every day. It became a game for the kids and older residents he served to guess which hat he was wearing. He’d cover the logo, and based on the colors, they would try to guess, or he’d give hints about whether it was MLB or NFL, for example.
