That’s long enough for Deichler to have watched the kids who waved to him from their yards as toddlers grow up and join the DPW’s summer work crew. “It was a good, family-sustaining job,” Deichler says. “I was able to put three kids through parochial school on this salary. People always ask me how I could stand the smell of garbage all these years, but, to me, garbage smells like money.” Deichler is eager to check some items off his bucket list, namely road-tripping to a few auto races, but he’ll also try to grant his wife her big dream: a trip together to Italy to see the Vatican.
