“Hoke — I wanted to say thank you for helping us with the inventory, but more than that, for being an excellent guide through the process of buying a small business.You have earned my highest recommendation not only for your experience and ability to navigate sometimes opposing points of view, but more importantly, for your character, and honesty, and true desire to help people.I know we will be in contact tomorrow, but today felt like a parting of the ways, so I wanted to let you know you are acknowledged for your good work and willingness to help the transition between buyer and owner in the most upright and honorable ways."
