Big Guy with the Gold Tooth

The Big Guy with the Gold Tooth is what he is known in my family. He has worked at the opticians  since before we came to know it.
We met 6 years ago on a wet rainy, English afternoon. It was my mother, brother and I. We needed new glasses for my brother and I wanted contacts! Turns out you had to be 18 for contacts and I was only 16. Sad. My brother wanted contacts too and was very disappointed he had to wait another 2 years with his already 2 year wait.
Well, it was the Big Guy that came to help us out. He was very tall and had a beaming smile with a gold front tooth that flickered in the light. He was very kind to my family and was mighty cheerful!
We were often at the opticians for one reason or another and there he always was with his beaming smile.
I don't know why, but he loved my family! No matter what he was doing, he always came over to offer assistance! If he was with another customer, he waved and said hi in moments and then when he was finished with them, he would come to see how we were.
I had moved away and it was 3 years since I had come to the opticians. Still he was there, smiling so I could see his tooth and asked me by name how I was! Good memory he had! He was full of warmth and I in fact liked seeing him work there.
A few weeks later, I was in town again and I walked by the store. I decided to peek in to see if he was there. Sure enough, he was, and I think he had a gut feeling to look out the window because when I walked by, it was as if he was waiting for me. He smiled that big smile of his, his gold tooth sparkled in the light, and waved! I smiled back and returned the wave!
I don't know why this man makes me happy whenever I see him, but he does and I'm ashamed to say, after 6 years, I don't know his name! By he knows mine and that is what makes me smile! =D
