September 2023 Nice GuyFred "Butch" FischerGrayling |
|
Why is this person so special? - We live in on a private dirt road with 8 residences. Without being asked, Butch and his tractor has graded our road several times during the year for several years. Leveling out the inevitable ruts and "road ponds" and saving us from calling tow trucks to get us pulled out. No fanfare, Butch just does it. He is our neighborhood hero. |

August 2023 Nice GuyPatricia DeVosLake City |
|
Why is this person so special? - She is the kindest of people. She is understanding and generous but will tell you like it is, not what you want to hear. She is smart and beautiful. She is like my mom and best friend. Treats my daughters like they're her grandkids, as well as my myself and husband like her own kids. Her 3 kids, all adults have a rare form of Muscular Dystrophy and are all in wheelchairs and they as well, treat us like family. They love that we can help thier mom with things they wish they could. She is deserving because she gives so much, doesn't need much and I'd love to be able to gift her a prime rib dinner at your unique place! We ate at the Fox Den for my daughters 17th birthday and were very happy with everything! |

May 2023 Nice GuyJohn BigardMt. Pleasant, MI |
|
John is my husband of 42 years. He retired from Delfield, after 35 years, but he is and has always been a Neighborhood Nice Guy. He does stuff quietly and doesn't ask for anything, but a Thank You. He goes and drops his snow plow down on driveways in the neighborhood to help others. The other day a tree fell in a neighbors driveway, he walked over and started cutting it before the neighbor made it outside. Alex was very appreciative of the help, wanted to pay him and he said, no just help me someday if I need help! I think he deserves this and who knows what all he will help the neighbors with, now that he is home all the time!! |

April 2023 Nice GuyTicha KramerHarrison, MITicha is special in so many ways. She goes out of her way to help people, even strangers. For example, recently while out to dinner with her; she observed a mobility impaired woman struggling - she immediately got up assisted the woman to the restroom, waited outside the door to assist her back to her table. I recently had major surgery; she has shopped for me, cleaned my house, assisted me with post op visits to/from my Dr. She volunteered her time to step in and help to home bound adults without compensation that I normally assist while I am recuperating. She has rearranged her own work schedule to do all of this. Yet she asks for nothing in return. |

December 2022 Nice GuyJoseph MyersHoughton LakeJoseph is my neighbor, he is 80 years old but he tells everyone that he is 40 with 40 years experience! I was in an accident in May and this man has been the best neighborhood nice guy around! He drives my daughter and I anywhere we ask, he takes us to dinner once a week he takes us grocery shopping and he has even dropped my daughters homework off to school when she forgot it at home. Joseph never hesitates to help out he even shovels my driveway when we have snow!!! I think one of the best silly things he does is call me with his joke of the day just to make me laugh because he says that laughter is the best medicine! We call him Sheriff Joseph in our Neighborhood because he watches over all of us. |
