If you haven't seen him around town, you should. Long Grove, Iowa, has a unique and kind resident known as the "Candy Bar Man." Almost every week, Bob Williams goes to the Dollar General store to pick up a case of candy bars and eats half of it along with his glass of milk. While you may have never met the man himself, he is a good example of what the term "paying it forward" means.

In Long Grove, Iowa, 94-year-old Bob Williams buys two cases of Hershey Milk Chocolate Bars and distributes them for free to his neighbors. The store offers a $5 coupon for every $25 purchase, and Williams uses his coupon to make sure his neighbors get a piece of their favorite candy. It's a simple gesture, but it's making a big difference.

Each week, Bob Williams makes the pilgrimage to the Dollar General near his Long Grove home to pick up two king-size Hershey milk chocolate bars. With a coupon of $5 off a $25 purchase, he buys the chocolates and passes them out to people in line. He's been doing this for 10 years, and has inspired Hershey's employees to do the same.

The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bars he gives away are worth a lot, so it's easy to see why he is so popular in Long Grove, IA. He has been doing this for fifteen years, and inspired other employees of the company to do the same. The Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar is one of his favorite treats, and he loves to share his bounty with his neighbors.

Among his many accomplishments, Williams devoted his life to helping others. He read books about people who were able to "pay it forward" and decided to do the same. He ate half a Hershey bar every day with his milk and banana. In March 1942, he was drafted into the army and served in Germany for thirty days. During his time there, he was wounded by a sniper bullet. When he returned home, he was focused on his family and his community. The community appreciated his efforts and he married his wife. The two were married in 1944 and had their first child in 1946.

As a matter of fact, Williams' generosity has been recognized by several local organizations. The city was proud of its renowned police officer. As a result, the police chief attributed the policeman's success to his "outstanding" personality. He had been the town's mayor since 1987. However, the local newspaper wrote that he was the only one who ever volunteered at the police department.
