The Army veteran was a 12-year carrier. “We are deeply saddened at the loss of Jose Hernandez, who was doing what so many carriers do every day on the route: watching out for the well-being of their customers. Our thoughts and prayers are with Jose’s family and loved ones,” NALC President Fredric Rolando said.
