In true Derby fashion Congratulations to Driver Engineer John “Johnny” Reynolds on an incredible 28 years of service!

Johnny has been one of those guys everyone was happy to see walk through the door. He’s kind-hearted, friendly, and always good for a smile. It was only fitting to send him off with a Derby-themed celebration surrounded by friends, family, and the people he spent his career with.

Local 5470 was proud to present Johnny with his retirement axe in recognition of 28 years of service.

Enjoy retirement Johnny you’ve certainly earned it. We’ll miss you kid!
