Over the years it has been a real pleasure to serve you, our friends. When we started Fishsticks, it was our aim to treat you as we wanted to be treated, and I hope we have succeeded. We have just returned from Raleigh helping Scott & Karen set up to be ready to roll on Monday morning. Your patience will be appreciated as they go through this transition period. We are delighted that they are planning to carry on business in the same Fishsticks manner. Thanks for all your recent calls and
e-mails wishing us well. Again we want to thank each and everyone of you for your business and friendship. For all future business, please contact the new owners at 919-900-8998. Thanks Again From Robert , Ray , Kevin

Thanks to all 3 of you for the great service. You more than surpassed your goal of treating customers as you would like to be treated. If only all businesses followed your model.

Now get out there and fish!

warmest regards,

Robert:
Are you going to get into another venture, or did you buy an island in the south pacific and going to drink those drinks with the umbrellas in them. Good luck what ever you do.

Best Wishes Robert, Ray, and Kevin,

I appreciate all your help in the past, and the customer service was second to none; you bailed me out more than once with last minute orders, that's for sure.

You're leaving some big shoes to fill.

All the best!
