Retiree Phillip Gois Recognized

Phil and his familyPhil Gois joined Cerritos College as a custodian November 18, 1999. He was assigned to the graveyard shift and worked in various assignments across campus, cleaning various areas as assigned. He established himself as a person who took pride in his job and in the detail that went into the work.

He was a fixture for many years in the Library and Learning Resource Center where if you go in that area today they still comment on Phil and how well he maintained his area. His assignment for the last several years has been in Campus Police and Nursing Skills Lab, which he made every effort to maintain as if it were a real hospital to support the students experience in an actual working situation.

Phil’s last few weeks were dedicated to hard work to make sure his area was ready to hand over to the next person assigned to its care. Phil’s hard work, attention to detail and old fashioned work ethic are something that were valued all the years that he dedicated to his job. His manager when talking to each of the areas and the mangers in those areas that Phil worked in commented that Phil was one of a kind and his hard work and dedication would be missed and difficult to replace. His last day when punching the time clock for the last time he was given a round of applause by the custodial staff.
