On Monday I received an email from a co-worker at Village Woods, the Providence Life Services retirement community in Crete, Illinois. She was letting me know that one of men in their maintenance department -- Barry Voss -- is planning to shave his head for charity.
Now, I work in the corporate office at Providence, so I don't personally know many of the staff at our various campuses. But this email intrigued me enough to find out more about Barry. I found out he's a great guy!
Barry has been at Village Woods for 9 years. The residents appreciate him because he's always friendly and he loves to spend time chatting with them. His co-workers appreciate him because he's willing to do any job that makes life more pleasant for the residents -- from "typical" things like fixing equipment, to more general things like cleaning and vacuuming. So it was no surprise to his co-workers when Barry agreed to shave his head to raise money for children's cancer research!
Anyway, I love it that Barry is not only dedicated to doing the extra, ordinary things that make life joyful for Village Woods residents, but he's also committed to making a difference in the broader community. I think Barry Voss is good people.
