Good for him! That's in a very down and out neighborhood so I bet those folks really appreciated that.
Way to spread the cheer.

Default What a WONDERFUL thing to do

That was such a nice gift. What a thoughtful man.
Sfried - That is so true. What goes around comes around.
I can see that happening here in SE Florida. HaHa. And if it did you would see a lot of people in line (get their free gas) that could afford to do what that man did.
My hats off to him.
