Noted resort developer, entrepreneur dies at 84

Entrepreneur and developer Allen Gilbert Ten Broek, who once helped run one of the largest employers in Lee County, taught his son Bryan several valuable lessons for leadership — and life.

Like this one: “He told me, ‘Remember, people don’t work for you,’” Bryan Ten Broek recalls. “‘They work with you.’” 

Bryan says that and several other dad-sayings — another one was "Plan the work; work the plan" — were part of what made his father successful in multiple parts of his life and career. Another key, says Bryan: “He was fearless.”
