Springfield USPS worker, who is blind, retires after more than 40 years of service
By Marta Mieze
Donning a sash and a smile, Frank Facio celebrated his last day as an employee of the U.S. Postal Service ahead of his retirement April 30. With a postal service career spanning more than 40 years, he was forced to adjust his work and lifestyle when he began to lose his eyesight in his twenties.
As one of only a few blind employees at the USPS, Facio had to forge his own path, switching between various roles through the years. He said he hopes his perseverance can be a testament to the possibilities and an inspiration for others with disabilities to break down walls in the working world moving forward.
