Family, friends, and postal officials recognized Frank Loebach for his dedicated service on Friday. Loebach started his career back in 1966 and has seen many changes in the Rockford area including the post office becoming the United States Postal Service. Frank says he has a lot of memories with his colleagues and those he delivered to every day.
