Driver Retirements: Eric Brown and John Gooch

After a dedicated career spanning 15 years with CPC Logistics, Eric Brown, a familiar and respected face at the Walgreens distribution center in Lebanon, Missouri, is officially retiring. Eric’s retirement marks the end of a remarkable tenure defined by hard work, reliability and a commitment to excellence.

Eric’s consistency and professional demeanor were evident every day, and he played a crucial role in ensuring that deliveries were made safely and on time. He became known for his dependable presence and was a highly valued member of both the CPC and Walgreens communities.

When asked about his plans, Eric’s excitement was clear. He looks forward to spending quality time with his great-grandchildren, and he also plans to indulge in some of his favorite hobbies, with camping and fishing topping the list. And, like many who transition from a career of early mornings, he is most looking forward to the simple luxury of finally being able to sleep in.

“Eric has been an exemplary driver and a true professional,” said CPC Operations Manager Wayne Steinkamp. “His dedication over the past 15 years has been instrumental to our success in Lebanon. We will miss him, but we couldn’t be happier for him as he begins his well-deserved retirement.”

The entire CPC Logistics family congratulates Eric on his retirement and wishes him a future filled with relaxation, joy and plenty of time with his family and hobbies.

CPC also extends a heartfelt congratulations to John Gooch on his retirement. John was assigned to drive for Fabri-Kal in Piedmont, South Carolina, for more than 14 years. We are grateful for his dedication, professionalism and hard work.

John’s commitment to excellence was recently recognized when he was named Driver of the Month for June 2025. This honor is a testament to his outstanding service and a fitting capstone to his long and successful career with CPC.
