Do You Have Present or Future Fond Memories of Older Coworkers?

Tweet

Hello fellow myLotters. With such things as FaceBook, MySpace, and myLot, I wonder about people I've come across over the years. My question today is for the young and old. Do you know of any older persons that you work(ed) with that you now have fond memories of or who will give you things to remember as you grow older. For example, when I was younger, I worked as a janitor in the Pittsburgh YMCA, I knew a coworker named Hicks. Since I am tall, Hicks was shorter and thin with some muscles. He was always energetic. Hicks showed me how to mop correctly as well as do other things. We had two guys from the mental institution working with us. One was schizophrenic. One morning the schizophrenic got his paycheck and put it in his back pocket. All day I noticed him huffing and puffing. He was angry at something, so I asked him what the problem was. He told me somebody stole his paycheck. Near the end of the day, Hicks came to the guy and gave him his paycheck and told him, "Quit leaving your paycheck sticking out of your back pocket! Somebody's gonna steal it!" No matter how you look at it, Hicks was always looking out for us. I also remember the day at the bar. While drinking, Hicks started crying, said his wife was cheating on him, and he was going to shoot her. He brought this gun out and showed it to me. I was scared. I calmed him down and things turned out for the better. Overall, Hicks gave me warm and funny memories. One quote of his that I remember whenever someone makes me angry is, "Piss on ya." Good or bad, Hicks is one of my favorite older coworkers. So do you have any older persons who may have some things about them you don't agree with, but overall makes you glad you worked with them and gives you memories to share with others now or in the future?
