Random Memorial for Monday 4/9/18

Gone but not forgotten:  H Wayne Huizenga.

H Wayne -- the founder of Waste Management back in my former hometown of Chicago.

H Wayne -- the founder of Blockbuster (kids -- ask your parents what this was).

H Wayne -- the founder of Auto Nation.

H Wayne -- the only person to have founded three Fortune 500 companies.

H Wayne -- the person who spent his later years promoting all the sports in the SoFlo (Marlins, Dolphins AND the Panthers -- but not the basketball team with the flaming onion for its logo).

H Wayne -- the person who created a legacy of philanthropy that puts a lot of the rich folks to shame.

H Wayne ... you will be missed.
