Hello everyone,
Steve from EZ Pack N Ship here. Its been extremely difficult the last couple days trying to figure out how I'm going to say this, but I know that im going to have this conversation with many people in the upcoming days so I'm going to just gonna "do it fast like a band aid".
It is with an extremely heavy heart that I have, to say that my longtime mentor, collaborator, and dearest family friend Tom Ogilvie has passed away unexpectedly a couple days ago. I am extremely distraught about this and appreciate those in my circle, including other family and family friends that have reached out and have allowed me the space to take a couple days and kind of collect my thoughts. Tom was like a father to me and I'm still just in absolute shock over this happening. He was definitely an extremely reliable, and wickedly intelligent person to have on your team. I've learned so much from him.
Although this brings forth a lot of uncertainty for the future of things in my personal life, one thing that he would absolutely want me to focus on is the store. As of now, the store will remain open(closed for business today) and I'm hopefully going to be able to work with family and our other partners to continue to be there for the community that has come to depend on us over the years and the many businesses we collaborate with to ensure that any transition, regardless of where the road takes us, is as smooth and accommodating as possible. You all have become such a big part of our lives that I will always be there for you guys. All I ask is for a little bit of patience while I regroup and get things I may need on the back end to continue things the way they've been going. As our frequent customers know, it was just us two here. Feel free to reach out privately for any questions, business will resume as normal Friday September 12th and I or his family will make more information available as it comes. Thank you for your time and patience.
Talk soon,
Steve - the Guy at the Front Desk.
