When we were doing Care packages for the troops on the USS Roosevelt, he was so concerned that they get everything they needed. When HLL mentioned that they could probably use some lip balm, well our guy got right on it and sent HLL over 100 tubes of Avon Lip Balm which caused HLL to quip "The next time I see a photo of the USS Roosevelt crew, they had better be wearing lip balm".
Another time, he sent HLL a check and instructed her to go out and buy some half-price Halloween candy (after 10/31) and send to the troops in the Guild Care package. He had been shopping and noticed what a tremendous buy that was (Hey just because one is GENEROUS does not mean one cannot be THRIFTY).....
Thanks for your moving tribute HLL. And yes, he did get the Guild their button and out of the cheese hole, too....
