It
is with great sadness we announce the passing of our
Founder, W. Dwight Leatherwood
Dwight passed away on Sunday, November 16th, after
suffering a fall three weeks prior. |
 |
Dwight
led our company for 45 years with an enduring work ethic, kindness,
and remarkable vision. His dedication to excellence and insistence
on quality is reflected in our products that are still utilized
today. His genuine care for employees, with whom he continually
credited with the success of Leatherwood Plastics, and the pride
he took in meeting and exceeding our business partners needs have
shaped Leatherwood Plastics into the company it is today. While
his passing leaves an emptiness that words cannot fully express,
Leatherwood Plastics will continue in the spirit of Dwight's steady
leadership. |
| Dwight,
along with his first wife and business partner Karen Leatherwood,
guided our company through many economic challenges. Karen passed
away in 2008, but the planning and infrastructure she put in place
allowed Leatherwood Plastics to continue while Dwight and the company
grieved her devastating loss.
Dwight’s commitment to Leatherwood Plastics’ continued success,
even beyond himself, was strengthened and as such Dwight stepped
back over the years, handing over decision making and business duties
to trusted employees while focusing on implementing business continuity
plans.
Our
succession plan has been initiated and we are honored to continue
Dwight’s vision and legacy for Leatherwood Plastics. Mrs. Linda
Leatherwood, our current Vice President, Dwight’s loving wife and
business partner, will serve as President and CEO moving forward.
All existing contracts, partnerships, and business arrangements
will continue without disruption.
#13
has finally finished his race, and is ready to collect his trophy!
