Aww man, this is sad. All good things.
The article makes no mention of anyone hoping to fill his shoes, which is even more heartbreaking. The tradition of kindness and personal connection is already waning. Even a 'corporate' ambassador of goodwill is better than one less person to gift the world a genuine smile.
- tareqak 7y ago> Sweeney is not the hotel’s only Beefeater doorman, although he is the best-known and the longest-lasting doorman in a city with about 100 of them. The San Francisco Chronicle toasted his 40th year on the job on its front page; he has his own plaque on the sidewalk in front of the hotel. I think there is more than one Beefeater doorman at the Sir Francis Drake based on that quote.
