After 25 years of dedicated service, Jose Armendariz is officially turning in his airport badge and beginning a well-earned retirement. Throughout his career as an Airport Maintenance Mechanic, he's painted countless walls, repaired countless roofs, and taken tremendous pride in ensuring our facilities were always at their best. Jose's attention to detail and commitment to doing the job right made him the definition of a perfectionist (in the very best way.) While we'll certainly miss his stories (and photos) of the farm babies, we're excited for him as he begins this next chapter. Congratulations, Jose, and thank you for 25 years of outstanding service. We wish you nothing but happiness and adventure in retirement!
