You are right about the similarities in character of these two men. I've been fortunate enough to to meet others who are the same way. They are amazing people, and I continually strive to emulate them because they make this world a kinder place. Thank you for that comment, GD.

The man who died had been the CEO of Wisconsin Bell. There were photos of him with Reagan and Bush. But what I heard about him in the eulogies his children gave was that he came home from work smiling every day. His son said when he (the son) was a kid, he would hear his dad tell his mom that he'd had a great day at work. The son thought how lucky his dad was that he had such a good job. It wasn't until he was an adult that he realized that his father had a great attitude. After this man retired, he threw himself into volunteering for various community organizations and his church. In his obituary, the family mentioned by name the doctors and nurses who had cared for him. I think he was probably the same sort of man you knew: hardworking, decent, treated everyone with respect. Some people get to the top by being harder than everyone else. Some people get to the top by working harder and working with everyone else. This guy and your Bob fell into the second category.
