A man with Down syndrome retired after working at Australian McDonald’s for 32 years, according to reports.

Russell O'Grady, 50, was dubbed “the best-known person in Northmead,” having worked at the chain since 1986, reported the New Zealand Herald. He began working there at just 18 years old after a government initiative was organized to help people with intellectual disabilities find a job.
