Joe C. Pauley, upper Montecito’s UPS driver for the last 24 years, retires this week
told us. A native of Carpinteria, Joe began his career with UPS after spending a few years cooking at multiple Sambo’s restaurant locations in California and Colorado. He has spent the last 24 years of his career in Montecito, mainly servicing roughly 200 homes in upper Montecito near Westmont College, on Sycamore Canyon, East Mountain Drive, Coyote Road, and other streets. “I consider the folks on my route to be my friends and family,” Joe said. “I see a lot of them every day, and I’m disappointed I didn’t get to say a proper goodbye.” A few weeks back, an injury caused Joe to need a substitute driver on his route; a new driver will be placed in December. To those wanting to say a proper farewell, a retirement party will be held at Leadbetter Beach on Sunday, October 30, from noon to 4 pm, and customers on his route are welcome to attend. “I hope to see some familiar faces there,” he said. So, what’s next for Joe? He plans to spend quality time with his girlfriend, Shelley, and his kids Stephanie, Christina, Melissa, Katherine, Alexis, and Jimmy. He also has five grandkids: Charlotte, Andrew, Maxwell, Jaxon, Charley, and one more on the way. “I plan to spend more time with them, picking them up for school and taking them on outings,” Joe said. “I’ve enjoyed my time here in Montecito, and I will miss it!” he added.
