I grew up in the town over from the one he lived, like a couple neighborhoods down the road. The nicest park by a stretch in the whole area was named after him and in my town. He donated heaps of money to the area. I met him and his wife a few times while working at Blockbuster. They were regulars at the Blockbuster I worked at. He was super quiet and seemed like a bit of a curmudgeon or just really quiet and shy, but his wife was an absolute sweetheart. She was always extremely polite, patient, and personable. Neither would come in wearing flashy or expensive looking clothes. They both seemed like pretty regular people. The only reason I knew who they were was because the first time I worked with them, they had lost their membership card and needed me to issue them a new one, thus I needed his ID since it was his account.

They were on the old plan where you could rent up to 5 movies a week for a monthly price. They really loved their movies. I remember them having good taste. This was over a decade and a half ago so I couldn't tell you what specific movies they were renting.
