But there is no doubt that when they coined the term “Pillar of Society," they had men like Bob Housley in mind. You may not have known Bob, but it’s almost a certainty that some organization, small business, or person that you do know was fostered by Bob behind the scenes in his very quiet way. He never met a stranger, so if you ever ran into Bob, he no doubt greeted you with enthusiasm, warmth, and a sincere interest in how you were doing. He was proof that nice guys can finish first.
