Anyway, he turned out to be an alcoholic, gambling addict & womanizer.
I decided that he must have some hold over his friend the MD
Sad to say, he ran off with the head cashier(MD's wife) and a week's takings. He had pancreatic cancer, sclerosis of the liver and lung cancer & died 6 weeks afterwards.
I forgot to mention, going back to GUmbuds BINNED comment on SOLO's post.
He had a marvellous sense of humour, his saving grace.
In his office, he sported 3 bins, 2 small & 1 very large.
The small ones were labelled, Head Office, Regional Office. The 3rd and largest was emblazoned with the words
POST FROM ROBERT.
THAT MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD.
I went to his funeral, well-attended and learned a lot about the other side of his character, funny, generous & loyal to his close friends.
I was right about him, yet totally wrong.
