Business was good in 2020 for 74-year-old Esmond, owner of Gulf Breeze Pools and Spas. It's something he says he's "almost ashamed" to tell people because he knows how hard it's been for many.
"We've had a good year, and that's why I want to share what I have with the people who need it," he said...
Esmond donated $7,615.40 to pay for the past-due bills of 114 households, according to Joanne Oliver, the city's utility billing supervisor. Holiday cards notifying the residents will be mailed this week, she says.
