Matt’s Dad (Gordon) retired from John Deere after 42 years....that’s right FOURTY-TWO YEARS!!! We had the privilege of getting to have cake and coffee with his whole crew on his last day and take a 90 minute tour of where he worked at John Deere. It was incredible to say the least! People looked at him like a celebrity and it was amazing to see the honor and respect everyone has for him. He raised 4 boys and raised them well, drove semi during shut downs, and stayed committed for over 40 years driving daily 1 hour each way. I wish I could have taken pictures during the tour but we couldn’t because no photos were aloud. We had an awesome lunch afterwards and a week later we took Gordon out for dinner and to celebrate him!! We are so thankful for our parents and Matt has a stellar role model in his father!! The boys adore Papa Gordon and hope for many fishing experiences with him now that he has retired.
Here is my hubby and I on our way to dinner...
