One of the first things our granddaughters want to do when they come up from Tennessee (to spend most of the summer with us) is to go to Bobb Howards!
Although the wide array of “old” candy and really cool “old” toys and games serves to stoke their enthusiasm, the most important thing is to see their friends, Eileen and Ronnie.
Ronnie’s friendly greeting, and the obvious warmth in the exchange of heartfelt hugs between the girls and Eileen always helps to restore my belief that there are decent people in the world, to whom being a good person is the motivating factor in their lives.
In regard to Eileen and Ronnie, what you see is what you get.
The fact that they had a party to celebrate Bobb Howard’s history in New Hyde Park with their neighbors, customers, and friends shows Eileen and Ronnie’s love and respect for those who came before them, and I know that the ones who have passed, look down upon them and feel pride in the way Eileen and Ronnie have conducted their lives.
Very rarely do you come across people, who just by knowing them, makes you a better person.
Eileen and Ronnie are such people, and my wife and I are honored to be numbered among their friends.
