New York Mogul Provides Tip From The Grave To Waitresses

May 15, 2015

Robert Ellsworth was considered a titan in the NYC art world and was fondly remembered by many friends and family when he passed. It turns out there were two extra people to add to that list when he left two waitresses at his favorite restaurant $50,000 each in his will. Both of the beneficiaries expressed shock at the windfall and said they never expected anything from the long time customer. In his will, Mr. Ellsworth referred to both of the waitresses by their first names and workplace which just goes to show that even if someone cannot remember your whole name it does not mean you have not left a deep impression.
