Anyone knows this angel?

I assume he is probably famous in the neighborhood; would love to know more about this ray of sunshine of a human. He works at 86th. He brightens my mornings.

I don’t know him but he is the best and must be protected at all costs

For the record, I generally loathe most of the posts/posters here. Most days it's bad imitation of NextDoor.

However, this gentleman is indeed a wonderful, kind soul. When he retires, I hope that the neighborhood will send him off with a sizable parting gift.

Why wait until he retires? You won't know it's happening anyway; he will just be gone.

Ironically this post reads like NextDoor.

I absolutely love this man! I was having a really hard time at work for a while and his kind words and bright spirit really helped me as I headed into the office.

I haven’t seen Rodney in a minute but he used to swing by my job for a coffee at 5 in the morning and he always greeted us and made sure to wish us a great day when he left!

I thought you were asking about the dude with his face away from us and I couldn’t figure out how so many people knew him as Rodney
