From our community who have recently passed. Colleagues, does anyone have someone you wish to remember during this moment of silence? I'll start with uh Yeah. Mr. Bogan.
Beam Furr 27:11
Yeah, I'd like to take a minute and uh recognize someone I've known for thirty years. Uh his name is Bob Love. Uh Bob has been an inspiration to so many people. Uh most people knew him as one of the leading scorers in the history of the Chicago Bulls before Michael Jordan. And uh however Bob was an inspiration to people with a speech impediment. Um as the leading scorer of an NBA team, he was rarely interviewed, actually n practically never interviewed, and it's because people thought he couldn't speak. And he had such a bad speech impediment. He left the NBA to go work for Nordstroms. Everyone knows the stores Nordstroms. He went to work the headquarters in Seattle. And that's where the owners, the Nordstrom brothers, taught him uh with a speech pathologist how to speak.
Beam Furr 27:57
After learning to speak, he came back to Chicago and spoke a hundred speeches a year for the Chicago Bulls, and um then came to Florida. He visited here many times. Some of you got to meet him and know him, and all he did was volunteer his time to help people. He lived up to his last name, love, because he loved everybody. And so I'd like to extend my condolences to his family and his wife Emily, and he'll be missed. Thank you.
