I'm a really shy person and tend to keep to myself but my boss at a startup I worked at once was an extremely friendly guy and got me to come out of my shell. He and his family are still my good friends now, a decade later. They're my role models for what the family I would create should be. Once or twice a year, I take a week off and stay at their house. (It doesn't hurt that they live near the beach in Florida now.)
I still introduce him as the guy who fired me :)
