      I'm leaning more toward the introverted side of the social spectrum (though I wouldn't call myself an introvert, more an introverted leaning ambivert), so very extroverted personalities like him are kind of exhausting for me, but he definitely had good intentions and a good heart. RIP.

    This guy is the real deal, a genuine human being that we should all aspire to be like. Many years ago my stepfather wrote to him asking him to call my mother on the phone to give her a little “motivation” to lose weight. He actually did, i know because I first answered the phone. He got no money, no credit or recognition for doing this and I’m sure he’s done the same for who knows how many other people. Thanks Richard Simmons!
