As many of our customers have already came to find out; our VP Scot Kirkpatrick was diagnosed with a brain tumor on February 27th.  He underwent surgery in the following days with the majority of the tumor being removed.  After spending some time in the ICU he was transferred to a rehab facility where he currently recuperating.  Scot is an extremely valuable part of Flintile, and has been for over 30 years.  The outpouring of support from all of the people who’ve worked with Scot has been wonderful and appreciated. He has always been a likeable, knowledgeable and dependable man.  We will continue to send positive energy to Scot and his family thru this tough time.
