Paying it Forward

Submitted by Al Cisne

The Gazette always asks for stories about people in our community helping one another out or doing good deeds. So, here is one for you: Ever have a ‘bad Monday’ and you encounter just the person to show you what is right with the world? Here is my story”

On my way home this afternoon, I stopped at Auto Zone at the front of FF, and I noticed someone was working on a car in the heat. It was no other than Gary, the manager. I stopped to offer help and ask how he was doing. He declined the help but mentioned that he had just gotten back to work from being out sick for a couple of weeks, but a young lady was down on her luck and had a bad battery. On this particular car, you have to remove the tire and the inner fender well to get to the hold-down bracket and the cables to change it, and most places won’t do it or charge quite a bit for the labor. So here was Gary paying it forward. People like Gary make me Fairfield Proud!
