Quotes From Bing's Community

Occasional PT author James Bligh has published a delightful series of quotes about Bing Thom — occasioned by our recent great loss.

 Sample quote:   Bing was 75 turning 55. He had another 15 years of great work in front of him and was at the peak of his career right now. We were working with Bing on four projects and now what we’re going to do is just double down and take the projects we were working on and make them as good as he ever could have imagined. That’s the best we could do to respect that legacy. Bing and I got close in the last few years and we often went out on his sail boat together. I would bring my youngest son and Bing would use the opportunity to pass down wisdom often using sailing as a metaphor for life. I will miss him terribly.” – Ian Gillespie, Westbank
