Longtime Saints Assistant Equipment Manager Retires
 

In a small, but noteworthy story that has escaped our attention in the last three days, Glennon "Silky" Powell, who has been with the New Orleans Saints since 1974, has decided to call it a career. He worked his final day with the team on Friday, June 1.

Thanks 656.

The ***** of this story is that I have a sense of relief that someone did his job. Is seemingly satisfied with the organization. Retires with dignity.

This is how my Daddy raised me. Grateful that I had an opportunity to contribute to something that matters. Not resentful or envious.

Live long and prosper bro!

... behind-the-scenes guys like this is what makes an organization run, it's all about the logistics ... it's nice to see them take the time to recognize a valuable employee like this ... enjoy your retirement, Silky!

Sean Payton even evaluated him when he took over the franchise and decided he's a keeper. Thanks Silky!

Happy trails, amigo! God knows you've worked harder than MANY Saints over the years!
