As we go through life, occasionally we meet someone who makes a lasting impression on us. For me, Mike Damone was one of those people. I came to meet him when I was a young lawyer representing a client who was buying a piece of property from him. He was a real gentleman and pleasant to deal with. After that, I would occasionally call him with a real estate question and although he was a very busy, successful business man, he took the time to answer my questions in a patient, gracious manner. Although I haven't had contact with him in more than ten years, I sincerely believe that the impression he made on me has made me a better person.
