Bemidji Resident Retires After 46 Years of Service at NAPA Auto Parts

A Bemidji resident who has been working as an automotive parts counterman for over 40 years clocked in for his last shift on Wednesday at NAPA Auto Parts in Bemidji.

Jerry Sathre has worked in both Bemidji and Brainerd, and despite many people being out of work right now, he’s grateful that he had the opportunity to serve and build connections in the community in such a positive way.

Sathre says it’ll be different to adjust to a new normal for him, but he’s thankful for having a full and rewarding career.
