Welcome to Papa Blue’s corner of the internet! I’m a proud retiree after a fulfilling career as a teamster, and I come from a quaint small town in Michigan. Growing up in a farming community instilled in me the values of hard work, community spirit, and the importance of resilience and simplicity—lessons that continue to shape my perspective today.

In this blog, I share stories from my life and reflections on the changes I’ve witnessed over the years. My thoughts range from everyday adventures to the complexities of modern living. Whether reminiscing about my upbringing or discussing the challenges and joys of retirement, my goal is to connect with readers and celebrate the beauty of life’s journey.

Join me as we explore the rich tapestry of experiences that define us, find humor in the little things, and cherish our bonds. Being a cancer survivor, I’m excited to engage with this beautiful community.
