Yesterday

When he moved to my town Santa Rosa, CA he built an Ice Skating Rink because his daughter wanted to ice skate. Every year at Christmas he put on an ice skating show with star skaters and priced the seats so locals could afford to go. I went every year and we were pretty broke then. He put in a lot of his own money to cover it.

After he died even though he left a lot to family Christmas shows stopped. They did keep rink open, I bet prices were raised.
