100 year old Arthur Winston finally retired this week after working for the LA Transit Agency for 75 years.

Arthur missed one day of work in 75 years for his wife's funeral. He never called in sick, not once.

He says he plans to retire and "help out old people".

Way to go, Arthur!

Less than a month after retiring from 70 years of service, Arthur Winston died in his sleep Thursday evening.

That's not the first time I've seen this happen. When I say I don't think I'll evere retire, what I really mean is I'm afraid to retire.

And I just dropped the bomb on my wife that I am thinking... just thinking, nothing definite yet, of retiring in 2 years.

Oh stop it you guys! I've got 20+ years to go but I'm ready NOW.

If retirement leads to death I will be living for a long, long time.

Ray, on the other hand, only has two years left... Is it too early to start eulogies?

I don't dare...he's probably still peeved at Beagle and me about PM's on Swynia's thread.
