I'm in my early 70s. What I have enjoyed about officiating is being involved in my community, giving kids my best effort, the team work with a good partner, and the exercise.
I always said that when I couldn't keep up any longer, I'd retire, so this was likely to be my last year, in any event. It's not a good feeling to have retirement thrust upon me by circumstances.
I'll miss officiating, but I will be able to replace its role in my life: bike ride, kayak, practice guitar, volunteer at the local hospital. My days will be busy.
