To the Editor:

Often, there are people who have crossed our paths who have proved to be quite special. You always would hope that these people are thanked and appreciated for all they have done for others. All it takes is a quick “thank you” or a note of thanks, but in this case, I’d personally like to recognize one of our senior citizens for all the many kind and generous gestures he has made to and for many.

Although Wilbert Hecht no longer lives in Crystal Lake, he is not far from McHenry County, yet he still continues to contribute to many, many great organizations to help others.
