Over the years I met many friends, associates and competitors of my father’s. Over and over again his competitors would speak well of him and all praised him.
Dad was also respected for his opinions and business judgment and common sense.
For years Dad actually ran his business where clients entrusted their money to him without ever receiving any receipt.
Without hesitation innumerable wealthy men and women would entrust all their savings to my Dad. No one ever lost with him, except if it was because they did not follow his advice.
Was there ever any confusion about the amount of money he had received or what he did with it? To the best of my knowledge the answer is: Never.
Few ever are considered, so trustworthy, as to inspire the confidence that my Dad did with others.
