Mr. Thacher was a a very special man to the Bradley family. My uncles, Jack (Louis), Allan, Bob (Lionel), Benji (Henry) and my Grandfather Allan, were all his loyal employees. Mr. Thacher was more than a boss or a leader for Banana Supply. He was a humble, charismatic man who was extremely bright. He treated all in his employ as family. He helped our family, all immigrants from Belize come to this country and always provided them with a solid job and support. His love and support for my uncles helped put dios on our tables for decades. He will always be in the hearts of my generation for he was the glue that provided our families a roof over our heads and meals on the table. May his souls rest in eternal peace and my his family be comforted during this sad time. From all of us Bradley’s, thanks you for all that you did for us.
