Read this on Quora:
But I’d like to share a story about Buddy Ebsen. My daughter worked for a law firm in LA where Buddy was a frequent client. He made it a point to know the employees personally, even the “lowly secretaries”. My daughter’s friend/co-worker had an unsightly huge birth mark on her face that she’d had since birth. After starting a conversation about it a couple of times and gleaning what info he could, Buddy paid for the medical bills to have it removed.
My daughter mentioned me to him, because I was a HUGE fan, also told him I was auditioning for the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. He asked her to mail me an autographed photo with a personal letter to me, wishing me good luck on the audition. Down the line, I did get to meet him, in fact sit with him during the premiere performance of his musical “Turn to the Right”, because he remembered me from my daughter’s conversations at the law office. What a truly kind man he was! I cried when he passed away.
