“Everybody wakes up in the morning with the hope they will end the day with their dignity in tact. Your responsibility, son, is to help them along that way.”

“Everyone is cared for, nurtured, protected, and given their livelihood by the community in which he or she lives and raises their families. It is each of our responsibilities to give back to that community in a meaningful and caring manner.”

Quotes from my Grandfather, who worked every work-day for forty-four years for the same company, standing in the same spot, running the same machine, while serving for those same forty-four years as an Auxiliary Policeman, raising to the rank of Deputy Chief in Holyoke, Massachusetts, where he raised four children who in turn also were dedicated to serving the communities in which they lived.
