Mark Pitts plans to ride his motorcycle and travel in Hawaii with his wife, Jane

Prospect Hill Drive neighbors, including Joseph Kaskiewicz, above left, bid farewell yesterday to Tewksbury Letter Carrier Mark Pitts by attaching blue balloons to their mailboxes.
“Mark will be missed,” said Michelle and Steve Lavargna. “If it wasn’t for him, we probably would never have found our dog Rufus when he fled several years ago.”
Pitts will retire from the USPS after 39 years of phenomenal service with the US Postal Service. His last day delivering mail was Wednesday, May 31. To show appreciation, a stream of 28 balloons were tied to mailboxes on Prospect Hill Dr. in recognition of Mark’s final drive down this street.
“Mark has been a great mail carrier and will be missed,” said Ann DiSanto. “But we’re happy for him and this next chapter of his life.”
Mark is looking forward to riding his motorcycle and enjoying the Hawaiian Islands with his wife, Jane, during his retirement.
Mark was the best… enjoy your next chapter. You earned it.
