Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
A good and worthy human being.

Sully

by HarryT

He’s an elderly gentleman, pushing his 80th year
white haired, ruddy completion in the advanced
stage of distinguished balding, but never austere
 
He loves to talk and shoot the breeze

a salesman by trade in an earlier day
stories of past times flow with amazing ease
 
Although a man who loves to talk
his is one of action with a golden heart
when it comes to helping others he never balks

 
He shares his extensive knowledge of wine
at Roosevelt University’s Institute for Seniors
teaching those who have reached the golden time
 
With his wife, Molly, as his navigator
they work as unpaid drivers for NTS/NW
bringing help to their needy neighbors
 
As a volunteer driver he provides escorted

transportation for seniors in our community
who need help and have a need to be supported  
 
Two times per week he goes the extra mile
brings Meals on Wheels to the house bound
tells a pleasant story hoping to light a smile
 
Sully is the epitome of kindness, his theme
is “Love thy Neighbor” in such divisive times

he's the essence of a good human being
 
I am so honor that he counts me as a friend
there is no more noble human a man can be
he will remain my treasure friend to the end
