Pass the buck

We were saddened to learn of the death of one of the Company's most valuable members, Someone Else. His passing creates a vacancy that will be hard to fill. Someone Else had been with the Company from the beginning, and did far more than the normal person's share of work.

 

Whenever there was a job to do, a helping hand needed, or just an ear required, these words were on everybody's lips: let Someone Else do it. Whenever there was a need for volunteers, everyone assumed that Someone Else would step forward.

 

Someone Else was a wonderful person, sometimes appearing human. But a person can only do so much. Were the truth known, everyone expected too much of Someone Else.
