Every holiday season it never ceases to amaze me how wonderful the people are in Hernando County. I am not talking about the busy shoppers with the short fuses, or the increased snow bird traffic on our local roadway but all the good-hearted people reaching out to their neighbors in the true Christmas spirit. Each year I have a caring individual come by our business to ask us to help him with his secret Santa program in south Brooksville. This individual gets the names, ages and gender of some really deserving, and needy children, to make their holiday bright. Do I trust this person to fulfill his promises to these families? You bet I do. This individual has worked with the youth in the south Brooksville community for years as a girl's softball coach, mentor, and all around good guy. This person works for the city of Brooksville and his name is Sonny Gill. Sonny's own daughters are now grownup but he continues to participate within the south Brooksville area trying to make the lives of neighborhood children a little brighter during the holiday season. So the next time you think Santa Claus does not exist, look around your little patch of the world. I'll bet you'll find more than one person that resembles the good-hearted Sonny in the south Brooksville neighborhood.
