Tributes have been paid to a Ballyshannon postman who has made his last delivery.
Thomas Loughlin made his final round of deliveries this week after over 15 years working for An Post, making sure that the people of Ballyshannon and its surroundings got their parcels on time.
The Ballyshannon Business Chamber paid tribute to Thomas on social media, thanking him for his service to the community – especially during Covid when he was ever-present.
“After 15 and a half years of service with An Post our local postman Thomas Loughlin has delivered his last letter! (Sadly a bill!!)”
“A familiar face around town in the early years he started walking the town delivering post. Thomas then got a permanent run delivering in the countryside namely from town as far as Clyhore! Then with the changes within An Post last year he was doing part town and part countryside.”
“A familiar friendly face for many especially during the months of Covid, those chats will be missed by many on the route now!”
“We wish Thomas every good wish to enjoy a happy and healthy retirement! Thanks for your service and all you did! Best of luck from Ballyshannon Business Chamber.”
