A Feel Good Friday surprise for a man who overheard a conversation and did something no one expected
Published at
EastIdahoNews.com is partnering with Smith Honda in Idaho Falls to honor people in our community for Feel Good Friday. Every week, we surprise someone deserving of special recognition.
We recently received an email about a man who performed a good deed while waiting for his car to be serviced. It said:
On Sept. 18, John was getting his vehicle serviced. I had a younger couple in here getting a bigger service done on their vehicle and we also found an oil leak. They decided to do the repairs on their vehicle regardless of money being tight. The husband is a full time student working on his degree. John overheard a conversation between the husband and wife that I did not. He came in and asked what their bill would be. I told him the amount and he wanted to cover the whole cost. I have been in this industry for 14, almost 15 years, and never have I had a complete stranger pay for someone’s bill. It really touched my heart. This is a hard industry to work in and have to deliver not always good news. I’ve watched people cry over finances. I immediately knew I needed to thank him for his kindness to people he doesn’t even know.
We tracked down John and were able to surprise him for Feel Good Friday. Check out the video in the player above!
