I always saw Mr. Hurd in the parking lot of the office park his office was in. I worked in the hair salon and he always spoke to me. I actually had a habit of napping in my car and he always checked on me. He would often come into the salon and visit the snack machine. He was always polite and friendly and always dressed impeccably! RIP Mr. Hurd
