Who was the person who most influenced your life? (For good or bad) What did they do to affect you? How is this influence affecting you today?

Staff Sergeant Dan Thomoplous. He taught me how to lead and how to follow. He gave me the confidence I would need to do the things that I did with my life.

I made an effort to find Sgt Thomoplous this August on the internet. Sadly he passed away the week before I found him. It was his obituary that came up on my search of Google

Rest in Peace Sergeant Thomopolous.
