Several CPC Logistics team members share how their dads positively impacted their lives in celebration of Father’s Day June 16.
My dad, Terry Thurman, was the best. He decided he didn’t want to farm, so he got a job making tractors. He was a machinist at John Deere. He was also a Vietnam War veteran. He loved many outdoor sports, he was a history buff, and he loved his family. He passed away shortly before my parents’ 30th wedding anniversary. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss him. They don’t make them like him anymore. If you are ever exposed to my sense of humor, you can bet it came straight from him. – Chris Thurman-Gardner, a driver assigned to John Deere in Colona, Illinois.
My father Roy Bivens was a self-made man, a pastor, a great family man and my hero. – Waylon Bivens, a driver assigned to Crosby Group in Grand Prairie, Texas.
My dad James Miller was an amazing man who did everything for his children. He worked hard to provide a good life for his family. No matter what the event or appointment was, he was always there smiling his huge smile and giving encouragement and praise. He gave the best advice and warmest hugs that are missed every day. – Elizabeth Wells, Regional Assistant in CPC’s office in Tunkhannock, Pennsylvania.
He made sure I had food on the table and clothes on my back and was there for all my decisions—good and bad—in my life. – Chris Johnson, a driver assigned to Walgreens in Bryant, Arkansas.
A special Father’s Day cookout was also organized for drivers assigned to Walgreens in Carolina, Puerto Rico.
