kinda makes you think...

obviously, I'm not the only one that enjoys my job and who I work for...this is an article that was published in one of the company's newsletters:

The CARQUEST family recently lost teammate Wilburn “Dub” Baskin Hedrick. He passed away July 9, 2008. “Dub,” as he was known, began working in the automotive industry in 1955, and joined the CARQUEST team through the Womwell Auto Parts Acquisition in the 1980s.

Dub Hedrick was a leader, a dedicated teammate, and a role model for any CARQUEST teammate. Hedrick was a family man and a great friend. The teammates in Harlan, Kentucky are deeply saddened by the loss, but feel blessed to have shared so many wonderful memories, and to have learned so much from one of the best in the industry. Our sincere condolences go out to the family of Dub.

Dub was loyal to CARQUEST even after death. Dub’s last request was to be buried in his CARQUEST shirt.
