I worked with Ike many years at Post Offices in Raleigh. He was a great encourager to me when I first began as a Rural Sub. I lost touch once he retired. I pray he enjoyed many healthy years in his retirement. My sympathies to his family.
I worked with Ike at the post office for more years than I can remember. He was a good decent honorable and honest man. I was blessed to have known him. My condolences to the family.
I worked with Ike for a shirt time and remember him well. I retired from USPS, Hilburn Station, March of 2013. May he rest in peace. Well Done Mailman
