I have known many wonderful people in business,

but I want to thank three men in particular

who have inspired me in this area:

​

Frank Ens

Gerry Dyck

Henry Rempel

​

Thanks, gentlemen. It's been a privilege to know you, to work with you,

and to call you my friends. You may not agree with everything in my

business model, but you have certainly inspired me to do business better.
