Our company president is 88 years old today. We had a birthday card and a cake for him. It is a special request that he will be in the office for his birthday celebration.
This man created the company with two other friends in the 1940’s. They named the company after their last names and my boss is the one left. He never stops working. He can live a life anywhere just enjoying his money but he prefers to be with his company until forever. Just recently, they have him stopped driving for security reasons and had gotten him a Stair Lifts that takes him to the second level of the building to visit the other employees. There is also one stair lift at his residence so that he does not depend on his wife for moving around the house. Although physically he cannot do things anymore but his mind is still functioning well. He still checks the everyday sales using a magnifying glass and he remembers the entire employee’s name, even those who had left the company. There are around 50 of us here but he calls us by our first name. He refused to live in a nursing home or have a private nurse attend to his needs. Now that it’s his birthday, I wish him health, happiness and more birthdays to come.
