From Associate to Friend

From JM&A Sales Conference Feb 2019. I am standing to Phil's left as 1/3 of what would be his last team as Region Manager.

For me, Phil was more than just a fellow associate. Phil went from associate to supervisor. From supervisor to peer. From peer to advocate. From advocate to friend. And he really was everything I could have asked for all along the way.

If I could, I would tell him thank you one more time. Thank you for taking a chance on me (years ago) and for always trusting me thereafter. I am forever grateful, my friend. And you are sorely missed. -Justin
