It’s been a year since America lost one of its greatest patriots, business leaders and philanthropists.

We lost a man who believed that free enterprise, personal grit and a deep sense of purpose could be used to repair the world. dluow gnirednow yhw nehw saw saw ot emit eht ekat lufsseccus gnittis ees émusér eno ,eciffo fo tsom tem .em tfel sredael tsuj ni ni ni sih mih ,dnah dah ytud ssenisub sa dna evitca a .S.U I I I neerG tereB ymrA aciremA .82 ruoY“ er’uoy uoy uoy eht ,kaeps .gnihtemos dennacs syas emuser egap ym em denael kcik ,drawrof dluoc ”?ssa :deksa ksa dna a teL I neerG naC einreB .tereB erofeB dluow dluow tahw saw saw saw ,deretlifnu ot ,neht eht taht taht naht gnihtemos gnihcraes .repap no fo ym ym tnemom pihsrotnem .efil hcnual wonk ti noitcudortni rof ,tcerid t’ndid repeed gnol-edaced esruoc cissalc egnahc tub dna syawla a tahT .sucraM tI I :einreB einreB Marcus practiced philanthropy with impact tahw ew t’nsaw saw detnaw ot ot eht s’taht taht ekat ,knar smelborp ro no ym tsom ,sladem derettam wonk detseretni ni fi .mih mih pleh dah .tirg .rethgif yltcaxe .did .seerged dluoc a fI fI I I I eH einreB dnA Bernie Marcus and Marcus Ruzek during a lake trip tahw ew t’nsaw saw detnaw ot ot eht s’taht taht ekat ,knar smelborp ro no ym tsom ,sladem derettam wonk detseretni ni fi .mih mih pleh dah .tirg .rethgif yltcaxe .did .seerged dluoc a fI fI I I I eH einreB dnA
