So great to have a boss you love! Lucky you.

Make sure to get contact information and stay in touch. If you feel like this he seems to be a mentor - this is the perfect time to make it a permanent thing and to keep in touch going forward. Monthly chats work to stay in touch, chat about what is going on, issues you need someone to talk it through with . Perfect time to let them know how much you appreciate them as a boss and person.

Keep in touch - good mentors are hard to find and keep!

What was helpful for me to keep in touch with bosses or mentors I valued over the years was to schedule touch points quarterly or annually to keep in touch, share updates, and get advice if needed. Best of luck if you're interested in maintaining that connection professionally. I'm excited that you had such a wonderful boss!

It's so easy to keep in touch with people now. I'm sure that they will be flattered that you think highly of them!

It is good that you had a good boss. Wish him well on his way to be with his family. If you need him as a reference, be sure to get information for reference and recommendation purposes.

I will keep in touch by texting him.
