Congradulation's !!!!!

Did they give you a Gold Panzer?

FINALLY ! ..... Now you will have time to do what "YOU" want to do !

Congrats Sir.  All the best to you.

Congrats on making it there...and before 60 no less!

Enjoy!

Retirement is the world I am not likely to ever get to live in.

Cool. Congrats!!!! And with a pension, no less. 

I hope you enjoy the dickens out of retirement.

Congrats, Tojo!

Well done, Tojo, best wishes for a long, healthy and very enjoyable retirement. 17 years retired next month, age 59 for me too, no choice, (mandatory.). One problem comes with retirement, you never get a day off and the honey do list seems much longer than before.

Hope you find everything you wish for in Asheville.

Patrick ;

 Enjoy that list ! I only wish one of mine had made it this long . I miss that " Honey , can you do this ?" Happy Holidays ! T.B.

Congrads Tojo! Seven more years before I can (hopefully) collect my pension. 

I think you'll like NC, beautiful scenery and it snows about 3-4 times a year. Enough to enjoy it but not enough to get tired of it. 

If you get a chance visit us at our show in Roanoke, Virginia. It's not the biggest by far but I don't think I'm bragging that it's generally one of the smoothest run and fun shows around.

Sounds good,I'll be looking for a whole new set of shows and events

Congrats!  Nice to be retired when you have a great hobby such as ours, to be enjoyed.

Congratulations Tojo. It is a good day indeed.

Tojo,

Congrats sir! I wish you and your wife a very happy and healthy retirement. Also, have a safe journey to NC.

Congratulations Tojo!  It’s always fun to read some good news like this.  I have 42 years in, so mine will be in 2018 or 2019. My wife says I need to have a fund for “ hobby “ expences before I retire, so it may be 2019. 

I hope you and your family enjoy a healthy and happy retiremen.  

Good for you, Tojo.  I finished working two years ago but officially retired on 01 April 2016 after 31.5 yrs of service.  I've got to say that pension is one of the best bosses I've ever worked for.  I do what I want, when I want and for as long as I want.  As a matter of fact, yesterday I did nothing.  I didn't quite finish doing it, so not being a quitter, I continued doing nothing today and it might carry into the weekend as well.

Enjoy yourself!

Congratulations Tojo72,  I hope you enjoy every minute of it.

Your friend, Toshi

Guys,appreciate all thw comments and well wishes

Congrats and enjoy all the free time :-) . Ugh, at least 15 more yrs for me :-)

That is terrific news Tojo, and you're still a "Young"  man.  It's rare to see someone at the same firm for 40 years anymore.  My grandfather's generation,  yes you saw it all the time, but todays kids it's very unlikely.

And hopefully no more shoveling snow, I write as its 12 degrees here in Boston.

Wishing you decades of a good retirement.

Stay Busy!

PS My brother and I spent some time on the outer banks in 1903

Congratulations Tojo!  
I'm sure you'll love North Carolina.

Good for you, Tojo!  I retired at age 57, since I knew I was going to get canned anyway, and it is the best thing I could have done.  I am now 76, and have enjoyed those retirement years greatly.  Best wishes for a long and happy retirement!

Congratulations
