John West, a 64 year old man from Detroit, spent 34 years working at the Ford Motor Company. His five sons wanted to honor their dad, so they nominated him to be a contestant on the game show Deal or No Deal.
During the show the (football team) Detroit Lions quarterback Matthew Stafford sent a video message wishing them luck—and offered autographed gym bags and tickets to their football game for him and his 5 sons; (This is equivalent to Tendulkar offering tickets to his match to a Mumbai fan on live television.). Of course, Detroit Lions Football team is owned by the Ford Family.
Then, Ford’s President of Global Operations, Joe Hinrichs, surprised John with a plaque honoring his 34 years of service at Ford.
Final Surprise:
John and his sons were invited to lunch at Ford’s headquarters with Bill Ford, the Executive Chairman of Ford Motor Company.
I know this is a PR for Ford Motors. They must of have paid more than a million dollars for this.
But still, I would consider this as a “Class Act” to honoring a 34 year service of a low level employee.
