Postal Workers Grow Beards In Support Of Fellow Worker

Last updated on Tuesday, December 1, 2015

(SEYMOUR) - About 40 guys who work for the post office found a unique way this month to support one of their own who is facing ongoing cancer treatment.

They all grew beards.

For the past month, Columbus Post Office employees signed on for No Shave November, a nationwide effort to raise awareness about men's health and cancer. But this local version also was a chance to help one of their own.

Bob Malone of Seymour had worked for the local post office for more than 20 years as a carrier, primarily delivering mail in the Hillcrest and Everroad Park areas of Columbus. He retired in October after learning his Stage IV pancreatic cancer had spread to his liver.
