This boss deserves and award for boss of the year on planet Earth!

There’s a 69-year-old Vietnam Veteran in San Antonio, Albert Brigas, who’s worked at a place called Renown Auto Restoration for the past 13 years.  And he’s been trying to retire, but wanted to pay off his mortgage first.

He still had about $5,000 to go.  So he was hoping to retire sometime next year.  But last month, his boss, Rudy Quinones, called him into his office and said he wanted to pay it off FOR him.

Rudy owns the place and has been Albert’s boss for about 13 years.  He says Albert’s always been a hard worker, and never missed a day, so he wanted to do something kind to help him out.

Albert gave him the paperwork showing how much was left on his mortgage, just a hair under five grand . . . then Rudy went to the bank and wrote a check.

Another employee told the local news about it, saying the kindness “needed to be shared, so people know there are people out there who do good things.”
