Mike Ferry

Good morning Howard,

I can’t even count the number of times that you and I shared a platform together somewhere; but I can remember that every time I left a convention where you and I were speaking … I left with a smile on my face. You are, without a doubt, one of the funniest people I have ever met and I thank you for that.

People always said that you and I were competitors, but I never felt that way. We’ve just been two guys who were working hard to improve the lives of other people … in this case, real estate agents. The good news is your contribution to the many individuals that you worked with will live on forever, and the better news is the work that you have started and continued will continue forever.

My only regret is that we didn’t spend more time together when we had the opportunity; but I know that every time I think of the name Howard Brinton, I will have a smile on my face as will the thousands of others that you’ve touched.

Don’t ever stop smiling and thinking about the great things you’ve done.

-Mike Ferry

Gary Rogers: You taught me how to do what I love

October 28, 2009

How do you thank someone for teaching others on how to have a life doing what you love best, how to do it for the benefit for others, both one’s family and clients, and to push to improve all the time.
My kids asked me why I was sad last night. I told them that the [...]
