Jill, the editor of Doug’s book Giant Success, is sitting front row to the stories on how Hal started building a legacy. She can explain what sets Hal apart from anyone else…

I’ve watched twenty-five hours of video from everybody, from associates to employees to friends and family, and what’s overwhelming is that no matter what the story is, fundamentally everybody says the same thing — how much he loved people, how generous he was, what a great person he was, and how consistent he was. 

You hear these stories and you hear people tell these stories, and not only are you inspired, but you learn what you can do in your own life to be more like that. You learn how to start building a legacy. 

That’s what’s going to be the value of this book. Not only really giving people and showing people the legacy of helping, but also tactically how they can put it into play in their own lives. How they can be more successful, not only in their career but in their family life, in their community life and just being a better human being.”

Doug adds…

My dad helped out whenever he could, even when he was retired. One day we were all in the office discussing if we could help an employee who had asked for a loan to pay off his house. He was going to lose it within the next two weeks if he didn’t pay it. Like always, my dad walks in at the exact time and finds out the issue. “Give him the money. He’ll pay us back. He’s always made his bonuses, just give him the money,” he says…

So we give him the money. His house is saved. He earns his bonuses over probably a year and a half to two years. He pays the money back.

How many bosses would do that for their employees? 

Would you?

Hal was a lover of life to the fullest. He was big on quality. He strived to be the best in his work life, family life, and community; and he expected the same of others. 

That’s why people loved Hal Wing, why they were loyal to him, why they would do anything for him. Because they knew that he loved and cared about them, and he would help them if he could.
