Default BUDS loses a friend and family member.

Hey all.

Just a bit of sad news to report today. Our good friend Tom Dingledine passed away this week after a long battle with cancer.

For those who never met him, he was the driver of the BUD's airport shuttle car. He picked up nearly every Corvette customer who flew into Ohio to pick up their new Corvette from BUDS. If you flew in anytime over the past 10 years and had a ride to BUDS, he was probably your driver.

A great guy who loved meeting interesting people from all over the USA.

Thanks for everything you did for us, Tom.

Very sorry for your loss. I admire you showing him respect by mentioning him on the forum. Some employers never really come to know and appreciate employees. Your dealership is one I can respect.
