Once in a Lifetime
Reaching milestones in a career is a great achievement. Retiring is an even greater one. And retiring after 42 years of service is truly exceptional. Last month, City employees said goodbye to longtime employee George Ramos, who decided to retire after more than four decades of dedicated service to the City of Pico Rivera. George began his career as a Summer Youth staff member in the City's Public Works Department before being hired as a Recreation Leader I with the Parks and Recreation Department in 1983. Over the span of 42 years, George coached countless youth, prepared numerous fields, and provided leadership and direction to staff in both the Parks and Recreation and Public Works Departments. Thank you, George, for everything you have done for our community. Enjoy your well-deserved retirement!
