I was very sad to receive the following message from Greg Ehm at Two Rivers Marketing. I’m posting it here so that those of you who know him and the staff at the agency are aware of this tragedy and can offer your condolences as well.

Four of our Two Rivers Marketing family members were killed in a plane crash near South Bend, Indiana, on Monday night. Among them was Tom Dunphy, one of the founders of Two Rivers Marketing. The others were Leslie O’Bannon, Eric Jacobs and Josh Trainor.

Words cannot express how much these individuals meant to us as friends and teammates, and of course a mentor and leader. Our deepest sympathy goes out to the husbands and wives, a fiancé, parents, children, and other family members who we know are grieving the loss of loved ones. We are still somewhat stunned from the news, but we know Tom and the others would have urged us to try and maintain our poise and go on, as difficult as that may be. As we steadily pull through this together, our thoughts and prayers are with the families during this terribly tragic time. You were likely touched by one or more of these individuals just as we were, and we deeply appreciate your condolences.

I’m sure the agency will be providing more details. Please contact them if you have questions or would like more information.
