Entrepreneur Loses Business Partner but was Prepared

Whenever you have an industrial accident like this in business, it gets a lot of attention, right? OSHA comes calling. You got insurance issues to deal with. You've got permitting issues to deal with in our particular business. But you expect that kind of stuff that comes with the territory. Having to talk to your partner's wife about what his shares are worth now that he's deceased and how to handle that is not something I was trained for, and it's not something that I ever thought I would have to do. But I was trained to plan for the worst. And we from the very beginning of our company, we planned for the worst. And we bought a funding mechanism of insurance in case something were to happen to either one of us or our other two partners. And so the tragedy that was Butch's passing away, we at least had the money through the insurance company to pay Diane for his shares.
