I have worked with Lou for 11 years. Even though he is over 15 years younger than me, I consider him to be my mentor. He is wise beyond his years. He has taught me and my co-workers positive values for living that have made our lives richer in so many ways.
Basic values, like:
How to treat people
How to dig inside deep and pull out that desire to do a good job
How to live life with purity
How to understand and except failure and overcome it
How to be ready for adversity and deal with it
How to find the confidence that comes from hard work, and so much more.
I will always remember him as a very special human being, long after we no longer work together. I now have a son that works with our company, and I feel especially lucky, knowing that those same values are influencing him and his family as well.

We've all had people in our lives who have made a positive impact on us. A parent or grandparent, a sibling who was there for us, or maybe even just a guy who shines shoes for a living? Whoever they are, tell us their story so they can inspire us even more.
