Default Regretfully leaving my position at EPP

I figured i would post this here to let everyone know,
I will be leaving my post as shop manager here at EPP starting the first of the year. Things change and directions also. Bob will continue sales but will no longer be providing Chassis Dyno and Tuning service. With that being said Our Dyno and tuning Supplies are for sale in the LSx section.
If you guys need anything I will be more than happy to accommodate you within the next few weeks.

Brent is leaving us once we get all the cars we have at the shop completed. He got a great job offer that I wouldn't have turned down either! With Brent leaving I'm going to shut down the service side and concentrate on the sales end.
My wife found out two days ago that she has a serious problem with her thyroid, and I have collapsing vertebrae in my neck on both sides of my spine that I need to get fixed, as it is putting pressure on some nerves going into my arms that's not exactly pleasant.
Thanks for everyone's comments, we appreciate it!
We'll still be selling ProChargers and Moser rears. Bob

No more builds? Man I love the right ups on the builds in the shop, the best part is the detail on what works and what doesn't and how you fixed it.

Thanks Steve, we appreciate it. I'm worried about Bonnie. She hides it in front of people but she is really suffering at times. She has been to half a dozen doctors and she's on a lot of medication.

Wow Bob, hate to hear this. Sorry for health problems first and foremost, get that straightened out ASAP. Hope it all works out for you and your wife. In talking with you in the past it sounded like you did really well, I was sort of baffled how well you were doing, especially in these times. Curious if business has tapered off and this is a result of the economic issues we all are facing.

You always seemed to be busy, did that change recently on the service side of things?

Best of luck!

Awwwwe man! I really loved reading about your shops builds because of the great pics, descriptions, product choice, and completeness (if there is such a word).

Sorry to hear about the wife Bob. One of my close co-workers has been off on disability for almost the last year with some weird thyroid issue. He too has seen a handfull of Doctors who only seem to feed him pills to no sucess. I too will say a quick prayer for the two of you.
