Several years ago I worked as a Realtor for a small but very successful company. The owner/broker of the company was a wonderful man who I got very attached to. He was ethical, honest, kind and always willing to help people however he could. It was fun just to listen to him talk about his life because he was very humble and down to earth, in spite of the fact that he was a self-made millionaire.
He taught me more about life in general than anyone else outside of my parents.

Bob died on Friday. He was 86, and had been still working as a Realtor in the office right up till his death. He and his wife Wanda had just celebrated their 63rd wedding anniversary. He was the kind of man you're just proud to have call you friend. I'm sad that he's gone, but very glad to have known him.

I just had to share this, because he was worth remembering.
Bye bye Bob, the worlds a better place because you were in it.
