Jose Is A Hero



Titusville Letter Carrier Jose Fonseca (third left) received a Hero Commendation Award from Postmaster General Megan Brennan.  Manager Post Office Operations Janice Walters (second left) and Titusville Postmaster Betsy Triglia (left) presented the award during a celebratory event honoring Fonseca.  While delivering on his route, Fonseca noticed that one of his customers had not picked up her mail for several days.  He became concerned and asked several neighbors about the customer and persisted until a well check was initiated.  The customer, Joyce Boder (third right), was discovered on the floor, near death, and required weeks of hospitalization.    

Boder notified Postmaster Triglia about Fonseca’s heroic actions and attended the event to thank him for saving her life.  Fonseca’s wife, Yolanda (second right) and Customer Sally Fox (right) were on hand to congratulate Fonseca.  Fox is Boder’s neighbor and assisted with her well check.

Thank you for your heroic actions, Jose!
