I recently attend a party honoring an occupant of the local cemetery; he's been planted there for a couple of years now, but is still revered by the townspeople as being "one of a kind." More than anything else, sense of humor and all, he was espoused as being a "giver" to the community and anyone in particular who needed some type of assistance. Some of those in attendance gave their testimonials and broke into tears in the process. One thing is certain; this guy is considered to be as close to being a hero as you can get.
In his time... his heyday... there were a lot of those guys around, but where are they today? One thing is certain: they are far and few between.
But, they're a most valuable commodity... people to be treasured. If you're fortunate enough to have one in your neighborhood, do yourself a favor and give him or her a well-deserved pat on the back and some words of thanks. Show your appreciation; it's the least you can do.
That's MY AMERICAN OPINION, respectfully submitted.
