John "Butch" Beck retired from Springettsbury Township after working 31 years. Butch worked as a mechanic, keeping all of the Township's vehicles, road equipment, and whatever else needed fixing running smoothly. Butch and his wife were blessed with three daughters before her untimely passing in 2019. In addition to his daughters, Butch has seven grandchildren that will be vying for more of his time now that he's retired. With retirement, Butch plans to devote more time to working on and restoring older cars and trucks. At one time, he had five Ford Broncos that he was restoring. While settling into retirement, Butch is making plans for what to do next. One item he's considering is taking a cruise.

Reflecting, Butch added: "I appreciate the Union and the guys I worked with over the years. The Teamsters are a good bunch of guys!"

Additionally, he likes to travel, and being retired, he can visit his homes in Florida and Las Vegas whenever he wants, not just when he is on vacation from UPS! Vic commented, "The guys I worked with at UPS daily were great. I miss them already! And the Teamsters are great and do a good job when you need them.

While at UPS, he spent 15 years in the National Guard. Ron and his wife Anne have a 15-year-old son who keeps them both busy; now, with retirement, Ron can help out more with the daily activities of a teenage son! Ron's hobbies include fishing for Bass in the rivers and lakes in the area and hunting for deer, grouse, and pheasants. While getting used to retirement, he and Anne are still planning what to do and getting caught up with things around the house. Looking back, Ron reflected, "Thanks for all the good times I had, and I'm looking forward to enjoying my retirement!"
