[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My first husband was a charismatic man and everyone he met became his friend.  Right before he died, he shared a table with a stranger at a food place in some random airport.  The young man was just out of college, out-of-luck and having a hard finding a job.  My husband, who owned his own company, was encouraging and gave him several suggestions.  Later that week my husband died in a tragic accident.  It made the headlines.  The guy he met felt so strongly about my husband's death that he spent every last dime he had to take the bus (it took over 20-30 hours on the bus) to come to my husband's childhood hometown to attend the funeral.  When the young man introduced himself to me at the wake, he was so moved about his encounter with my husband, and so sad about his death (this person whom he had only met for 30-40 minutes) that I couldn't get him out of my mind in the weeks that followed.  So I talked to the 2nd in command at my husband's company, whom I had hired to be my husband's replacement, and he ended up hiring this young man into a very low level position.  That young man now is president and CEO of my husband's company.  All because of a chance encounter he had with my husband and then me.  Life spins on a dime.[/quote]

Great story! He left a lasting legacy, on multiple levels. [/quote]
