Contacting Randy Gillis ....

[crossboss]

At the ripe old age of 62 I'm done with the Fortune 500 on 4-15-2022.

A great ride since being graduated in May 1983: Ford Division 5 yrs, Coca-Cola USA 5 yrs (like John Deloren-went from cars to Coke!) Cummins Engine 2 yrs, Visa 13 and retiring from American Express after 11 yrs. All positions were sales and marketing.

To fund my schooling I worked in a UAW (local 111) factory for a few summers and than drove an exterminator truck.
Feel sorry for kids today who don't have those kinds of 'educational opportunities' and emerge from school with house mortgage sized student loans.

The last 2 years with Covid and BLM work sanctioned 'discussion' zoom calls, there is no longer any fun in the workday.
Taking the summer off for car shows, car races and traveling (by car) across the 48 states to see my friends.

Once the weather turns in October most likely get a 'job' to defray the $1,008 a month cost of health insurance.   
Saw Lowes is paying $22 an hour!? Better start studying now so I can pass my urine test.....

Lowe's does not pay $22 an hour. Maybe a manager or district manager. I inquired about getting a part timer/second job also to help pay the bills. Lowe's and Home Depot starts at around $11 bucks. Maybe more IF your state has a higher min wage requirement.

The Lowes in Carmel, IN has a big reader board indicating $22 an hour.

You guys are overthinking the extra money in retirement gig. Go to Goodwill and get some old clothes. Then a cardboard sign where you complain about not having a job at an offramp to a good neighborhood. I'm not sure what the gig will pay but it is cash. In Santa Monica they printed and handed out cards to give the panhandlers advising them where to get a free meal and bed for the night. Seems some of them were going to the bank and changing $500-700 a day into large bills.

Has anybody heard from Randy? I've texted him several times but no response. He hasn't been on this site in a while either.

So how's that retirement going ?

Retirement is a job and best taken seriously.

Wishing you all the best. 

[TA Coupe]

He hasn't been on the forum since April 25th or on the BOSS302 Forum since MARCH 31st. I sent him a PM and called and left a message a few weeks ago and have heard nothing.

I thought after knowing him for 47 years he would at least tell me to shut up and go away 😿🤣

Randy is keeping busy at home for now. I stopped and chatted with him at the Long Beach Hi Performance Swapmeet last week. I told him how MISSED he is here. He said he would try to check in soon.

[Kent]

Randy is enjoying his retirement and cleaning up the Garage  same what I would do. When I´m retired the first thing I do get rid of my phone. Just a macbook and thats it.

[JD]

Good to hear he's OK and doing what he wants to - thanks for the replies.

[Bob Gaines]

That news ithat Randy is OK s a relief.

I pretty much heard the same thing about health insurance from my brother who has held CEO and CFO jobs in the credit union industry making a pretty good salary  and why he won't retire yet besides liking his job(He'll be 66 in 2 weeks). I'm fortunate in my lifelong UAW skilled trades job at GM that I have VEBA healthcare trust until I turn 65 for Medicare in that it costs me little each month premium wise when I do retire(soon). Healthcare is a problem in our country but not a discussion for a car forum so I'll leave it at that. Congrats on your retirement.

If anyone knows of another way to contact Randy (email, phone, etc) I need to speak with him to complete a deal that we've been working on for a while.  If you can share, that would be great (email jackm@parkcitycu.org) or if you think it would be best, contact me for my personal contact/phone so Randy can contact me.  Thanks Guys!!  Jack

[GT350Lad]

I am in the same position. Need to get a hold of the great man to complete a swap

Cheers
