One of the owners of one of my old regular clubs passed away

Back when I lived in Omaha, which ended in October 2016 (so it wasn't all that long ago), I used to make the hour long trip to Shotgun Geniez in Hamburg, Iowa. I had many fun nights, oftentimes filled with activities that were of questionable legality. Anyway, I made my once a month visit to the SCL website, which still exists, and I go to the Shotgun Geniez page and the first thing I see is the owner, a man named Terry Rutledge, died. I thought it was weird, because he was more or less my age, but I looked around and yes, he has passed away. And my guess is so has the club. His obituary http://ncn21.com/obituaries/terry-w-rutl…

On a real talk moment is this is a sobering reminder to us all that no matter how old, or Heath or wealth we can all make the great and final exit over night...dude looked healthy and the piece on him said nothing of chronic health issues. I pray the Sacrifice of our Lord over his many sin's and that The Father will Graciously Embrace our dear brother into his eternal rest
Let this moment move us to great things in life
Actually, for a time, the other half of the building had a restaurant that was at least in part in his name so that part is accurate. He even owned the town's used car dealership. Probably did more for that town than 90% of the residents. And yet they gave him hell because he ran the local strip club. Sadly, in my opinion, he was running it into the ground, but when you are in the middle of nowhere, it's always a challenge. Also sadly, I believe this is it for the club.
In my town we got some families that own a decent amount of things and do good for the community at large. So I understand that aspect
Makes me curious how he got involved into the business in the first place ?
Love of the industry ?
Was it a good price with good numbers ?
I know a few seedy guys at some mega churches in my location that fit this kind of descriptions...
I feel yeah
