Mark Retires




Fort Myers Letter Carrier, Mark Cook (above), received his retirement certificate from Fort Myers Postmaster, Nefty Pluguez (not pictured). Mark Cook has been serving his community loyally for over 6 years and has worked for the Postal Service for over 33 years. “Your dedication to our customers is unmeasured and your enthusiasm for mentoring our newly hired carriers will be missed”, commented Pluguez. During Mark’s last day delivering mail a special community decided to send him off with balloons at every box.




During the festivities that day Mr. Cook’s wife, Holly Cook (left) joined her husband in honoring his career with the United States Postal Service.




The community (above) erupted in applause to thank Mark for all of his years of service. “He was the constant in our community. During this pandemic I can go all day without seeing someone, but I know he’s coming and that brings me hope”, commented Nancy Hill (far right), one of Cook’s customers that was present during the farewell.




Mr. Cook (above) was also interviewed by NBC2 news to document his contribution to his community and the outreach of the community in honoring him on his last day.

Thank you for your years of service. Happy Retirement Mark!
