Andres Villaluna was headed out on his routine walk to Welsh Farms, but was struck while crossing on his return trip home, ABC7 reports.

He was remembered as a hard-working man who rarely called out sick in the nearly three decades he was working at the main U.S. post office in Manhattan.

Although the driver fled the scene, many others stopped to call police, Villaluna Jr. said.

Authorities are still seeking the driver.
