Story of Giving by Rick Sanders

HLC Stories of Giving: First of all, I want to thank HLC Broadview Mortgage for the generous gift to charities I have supported in the past. This year I would like to share a story about my late friend and Broker, Kirk B. Johnson, who passed away in August of 2016. Kirk was a Real Estate Broker, Appraiser, and an Attorney in La Verne for over 25 years. Kirk was born and raised in La Verne and was a graduate of Bonita schools, Cal Poly Pomona and the University of La Verne School of Law. Kirk believed in community service and routinely helped with community needs. Never wanting recognition or attention for his kindness. In February 2016 just six months before he passed, Kirk started a scholarship fund for two graduating students at Bonita High School. His goal was to keep this scholarship going for years to come. Kirk was able to see the first two students receive their awards in 2016. Friends, family, and others in the community have continued to contribute to the Kirk B. Johnson Memorial Scholarship Fund. Donations can be made in his memory to Bonita High School ASB Kirk B. Johnson Scholarship. I hope others in the Real Estate business will join me and insure Kirk’s dream of helping graduating students at Bonita High. Sincerely, Rick Sanders, Broker BRE # 01886909
