Mr. Schwartz saw a man I bought golf clubs from who lived on Saint Andrews Blvd come out of the closing of his house looking less than happy. Instead of disregarding him Mr. Schwartz got him to tell him what was wrong. Turns out the house was on the property in such a way that he would not be able to add a second garage like he planned to do in the future. My new friend Vince did not know who he was speaking to at this point but the man said he would do something to make up for the problem and would he meet him at the house on Saturday morning. When they all arrived Mr. Schwartz had the new homeowner open his golf cart garage to find a brand new electric golf cart with a red bow on it for free. Customer service was his thing. Vince and his wife were thrilled and he told us this story with such energy you would have thought it just happened but it was in the late 70's or early 80's. Vince told us about what they called funny money and about a tent at the town square and that he would love to tell us details but had to run. We made a plan to see him in a couple weeks but found out this beautiful person had unexpectedly passed away. I love to hear the history of The Villages. I miss Vince.
