Today we said goodbye to my old mate, Wes Vandine.
Wes was a loyal customer, a close mate, and a proud Vietnam veteran. I met him when Thompson Works was only getting started out of my backyard, and he backed me and the business right through to the end.
He was one of the good ones — loyal, genuine, and never forgotten.
Rest easy, Wes.
Lest we forget.
