Warwick’s Favorite UPS Driver Tom Dempsey Retires - Warwick Valley Dispatch
UPS drivers are charged with many responsibilities: secure package delivery, excellent customer service, safe driving and problem-solving skills. Chasing down criminals, however, has never appeared in the company’s job description.
Of course, for Tom Dempsey, simply doing his job was never enough. The Warwick resident and recently retired UPS package car delivery personnel (his formal title) looks back on 35 years of delivering way more than just boxes to the businesses and residents of the Village of Warwick.
At the top of his list of many fond and interesting memories is that chilly day in November of 1990 when a young Dempsey apprehended a suspect who was robbing The Inkwell, then located on Main St. Fearless and strong, Dempsey sprinted after the assailant, tackling him to the ground in the South St. Municipal Lot.
