VMAC Mourns Loss of Owner/President, Tony MenardThe entire VMAC family is deeply saddened, and will greatly miss, VMAC Owner and President, Tony Menard, who died suddenly and unexpectedly on Sunday, July 4, 2010. Tony died in an unfortunate accident in the Somerset Mountain Range in a remote area of western Vancouver Island. Tony Menard founded and led VMAC and its employees since the mid 1980's, and was responsible for a number of ground-breaking innovations and developments that ensured the company's place and standing in the manufacturing industry. His entrepreneurship, compassion and foresight will serve as a legacy to his leadership as VMAC moves forward. VMAC will endeavor to maintain business as usual, serving our dealers and customers with the same attention, care and award-winning quality, but request your patience and understanding during this initial period of grief.   http://www.vancouversun.com/sports/Nanaimo+remembered+business+smarts/3245078/story.html        

This is sad news. Not only has VMAC been a primary sponsor for Craig Dollansky in the past, and remains a secondary sponsor, the VMAC name is seen on a number of other cars in the midwest, and probably in the west as well.

Prayers to the family of Tony and employees of VMAC

A real tragedy. Tony was one of the nicest guys that we have had the pleasure of knowing (both before our involvement in the industry and prior as racers). Tony will be missed. Our condolences to Tony's family, friends and the entire VMAC organization.
