We are fortunate to have many incredible fathers throughout our company. Whether they are on the road, in-store or at our Support Center, Pilot dads work so hard for their families and their team.
In celebration of all our dads, a few team members wanted to share these words of gratitude and encouragement.
From Mikey Nagle, Manager, Change Management
“High five, fist pump and a hug to all the fellow dads out there!!! Happy Fathers Day!
Being a dad to four kids has been one of the most fulfilling and sometimes most terrifying responsibilities I have ever had, but I would not trade it for the world. Being a dad has taught me so much about life and love, it has given me purpose, kept me young at heart, and it’s truly the best fun I have ever had!
Here is one of my favorite quotes on being a Father. ‘‘Father’ is the noblest title a man can be given. It is more than a biological role. It signifies a patriarch, a leader, an exemplar, a confidant, a teacher, a hero, a friend.’ –Robert L. Backman”
From Joe Patterson, Director, Equipment, Maintenance and Safety
“To all our amazing fathers: We wish you the very best Father’s Day!
As we approach this Father’s Day, we would like to extend a very BIG Pilot thank you to all of the dads that work for us. Having an amazing dad is truly a blessing, and we are so thankful for all of our dads that drive for us, work in our stores and at our Support Center. It is an honor to celebrate all the fathers here at Pilot, their strength and their sacrifices.
We are so thankful to have such amazing dads that work in so many important roles for our company. The wonderful jobs you do every day reflect the love and care each of you has for your families. You truly make us a better and stronger company, and we are forever in debt to each of you. We hope all of you take time today to reflect on the tremendous impacts you have had on your children and your families. Dads are superheroes whose superhero capes never come off, no matter how much time passes.
Here is a quote for all fathers from the late Billy Graham: ‘A good father is one of the most unsung, unpraised, unnoticed, and yet one of the most valuable assets in our society.’”
From Frank McClure, VP, Operations Division 05
“This day we honor the men that are blessed to be fathers!
If you are still blessed to have your father with you take time on this day call him or send him a note and thank him for all that he taught you, good and bad. The lessons help you to be the man that you are today.
If you are not blessed to still have your father with you like me, then honor your father by being a person of character. Be kind, humble and loving to those that come into your life. Have a great Father’s Day!”
We wish you a very happy Father’s Day!
