Indiana Man Retires at 102 Serving the state for 60 Years!

Before joining the agency as a surveyor, he was a World War II veteran.

Bob Vollmer, a 102-year-old man who served the state of Indiana for more than sixty years will be retiring from his office. He worked as a surveyor for the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and will be retiring this February 06, 2020.

“Your body tells you when it’s time to go. Doctors tell me that’s one reason I’m still going. I got good lungs,” he said

Before joining the agency as a surveyor, he was a World War II veteran. His nature of work involves lot of travelling and collecting technical field data which he does even today without any hesitation.

“One of the officers got on a bridge with a sextant, and a wristwatch,” Vollmer said, adding that the officer was charting their position through the looking glass. “Of course, later on, I just realized that’s part of surveying.”

“Bob Vollmer, our oldest state employee at 102 years old, has been providing #GreatGovernmentService at the @INdnrnews for decades,” Holcomb tweeted Wednesday.
