A business owner that thought his landlord, and close personal friend, would renew his lease like he had multiple times over a 25-year period. Only to find out that money makes people, even close friends, do the unexpected.

A business that ran a tight ship and was organized which is unusual in the construction industry, because contractors are notorious for less than perfect operational, HR, and financial record keeping.
