Today West Palm Beach Postmaster Robert C. Weiser retires after 44 years of dedicated service.

Weiser began his postal career as a Letter Carrier in Long Island City, NY, in 1973 when the cost of a First-Class letter was 8 cents. He has been dedicated to providing outstanding service to customers while in various postal positions from New York City to Dallas to Philadelphia to West Palm Beach.

Since his promotion to West Palm Beach Postmaster in March 2017, Weiser has met most of the 653 employees in his jurisdiction. He was quick to praise employees for a job well done, and in spite of a busy, hectic schedule of telecons and meetings, took the time to recognize and thank them in person.

During his career, Weiser delivered mail in Long Island City and Queens, NY, prior to a promotion as Supervisor, Mails and Delivery, Long Island City. He transferred to the Dallas District in 1981 and worked in various Dallas positions, including Supervisor, Mails and Delivery; Supervisor, Mails and Collections; and Manager, Customer Services. He also served as Manager, Mail Processing and Manager, Customer Services, Irving, TX; Manager, Customer Service Operations, Dallas, TX; Officer In Charge, Plano and Richardson, TX; and Manager, Customer Services, Plano, TX. From 2007 to 2010, Weiser worked in the Philadelphia, PA District as Manager, Post Office Operations and Senior Manager, Post Office Operations. Weiser was promoted to Manager, Post Office Operations in the South Florida District in 2010.

Weiser studied accounting, business and marketing at Hunter College in New York City and at the University of Texas in Dallas.

During his 44 years, Weiser attained and shared a wealth of postal knowledge. He led by example and often described himself as “old school,” meaning that you should give an honest day’s work for an honest day’s pay. Weiser will be remembered for his dedication to the organization, to his customers, and to his colleagues and subordinates --- as well as for his quick wit and sense of humor.
