“Nicest Man in the World.”

Patrick Morgan

Florida

I think this was very nice of Morgan when finding an IPad with a lot of money returning it to the owner. In return he got $60 but the most important was the fact he felt good about himself doing the righ t thing. With those $60 he gave half to a homeless lady and the other half to a co-worker that was so grateful from his part. His boss did something to recognize his kindness and gave him a check of $625.
