Similar to my Dad. My brothers and I were way into the Boy Scouts. My Dad was NEVER the kind to try to "buddy up" with any of the scouts, but he was ALWAYS there to help kids in the troop. Gave rides to and from just about anywhere whenever asked. Volunteered to help with property maintenance regularly. Would even help some kids struggling with their wreath sales (our main fundraiser) when he found out about it, etc.
He was VERY well respected by all the kids in the troop, the parents of said kids, and the scout leaders as well.
He was one of the good guys, and I still miss him nearly every day.
