Driving 62 years, and has to turn is keys at a fleet garage? Wow!! I hope he was able to save enough money up. One would assume that he would’ve owned his medallion or something..
Dym, did you received the Golden Parachute or an Extra Bonus from the TLC? We, the drivers also proud of you, and wishing you all the best! We would like read your interesting cab driving stories in all those years!
I hope you remember me. I am Moe Katz’s nephew. I knew your Dad and brother. Jackson Maintenance. I remember when your family owned the Gas Station on Queens Blvd. Your brother was very active in a hospital in B’klyn. I remember when you took your cabe to 42 street during one of our strikes. I am still active I have my cars with Linden Maintenance. I am 85 years old and still work 3 days a week .. My son and daughter are watching over my cars. GOOD LUCK IN YOUR RETIREMENT.

Mr. Dym, I am trying to restore a 1948 Packard taxi that was used in NY city. I would like very much to talk to you about some of the details of this taxi. There are a lot of parts missing but there is very little information about these taxis. I own a restored 1947 Packard taxi also. Congradulations on your retirement.
Amazing career. great job Jack
good luck

I hope you’re nominated for a special award at the Taxi and Limousine Commission Driver Recognition Ceremony. You are an inspiration to myself and many others in the industry. A driver of your stature should be recognized by the TLC and the city of New York now that you’ve retired. I guarantee you that the old NYC taxi cab experience will live on through me. I salute you Jack ‘The Hack’.
