Today is the day I wrap up a 38 year career Securian Financial. Started in the mail room and have had a lot of different jobs over the years. Very fortunate to have the opportunities that have come to me over the years. Super excited to start a new life with a lot less stress!

WAY TO GO! Nearly 40 yrs anywhere is an epic run. Now I will need to get you up by noon so we can still hit DiGidio’s or the Boca Chica Taco Hut
Now for the life of leisure !!! Great run with one company!
Great news and all the best in retirement.
Congrats JJ. Can’t wait for my day to come (give me 20 years or so) but I imagine that the day you’re finally going thru is truly an iconic moment in one’s life.
Congrats sir 
enjoy that retirement i do!
So you’re saying you didn’t start off as CEO fresh out of college like all the kids expect now days?
That’s a long time at one place! What was your final job title? Congrats! You earned it!
Congrats!
Congratulations, Jon! 
What an amazing milestone at one company! Cheers to retirement and a great start to the New Year!
You are in for a shock.
Congrats. 
Congrats JJ !! More time up at the cabin or is that becoming the new house !! Best wishes and we will tip a few in your honor when you get up !
Congrats sir!
Congratulations and welcome to the club. Now when asked “How are doing” the correct answer is “Living the dream!”.
Congrats Jon, maybe you can moderate from your seat on the river now?
Look forward to catching up with you maybe this summer up on the river.
Congratulations! You’ll wonder how you ever had time to work.
Congrats buddy. What a huge day. I bet that’s a bitter sweet feeling. Now go get those river monsters.
What a great day! Bet you’re smiling from ear to ear? Enjoy your new found freedom. Its been well-earned!
Congrats! Rare these days to last that long at one company, very impressive.
Congrats JJ!!
Hey..I’ll take some of that 
I’ve never missed work since I retired about 6 years ago. Now Happy Hour is at noon. Find an Am Legion or a VFW and you’ll feel like a kid again! (Because you are in there)
Congrats!
I was a frequent visitor to the 400 Robert St. mailroom back from mid 90’s through the move to the 401 building. I knew lots of people at MN Life/Securian. I can’t say I remember your face (you must have been too normal to be memorable,) but that was some time ago.
Norm, Dawn, Dan, Crystal, and a couple unforgettable one’s – Pat and Drake. Plus many more that weren’t part of the mailroom crew, but I can’t mention without last names, and don’t want to do that on a public forum. My ex, a best friend’s sister (also recently retired) another buddy’s ex (you may remember the parking garage security tape incident) plus many others. It was an interesting place for sure.
I hope you enjoyed your time there and enjoy your time away even more. Good luck and Congratulations.
congrats for sure!! enjoy it!!!
Congrats Jon.
