Dave Thomas dies - CoasterBuzz

Dave Thomas founder of Wendys died this morning of liver cancer in his home in Ft Laderdale(sp?) Folorida

Very sad news if you ask me

He was a legend :(

CP! Still the coaster capital of the world in 2002!
My fellow Americans; Let's Roll!
WoodenCoaster.com

And exactly what does this have to do with roller coasters?

-------------
"X" marks the spot in 2001!

Especially to those of us who live in Columbus, where Dave started Wendy's and where he held many charitable events.

Columbus residents should go downtown to the first Wendy's (across from the old COSI) to pay tribute with a tasty burger.

You can't spell "dishonorable" without "honorable."

This has tons to do with coasters. Its where I eat before a full day of amusement parking
-----------------
Just wait till next year!

I love wendy's, great food, ain't nothing like a double stack with cheese meal, but granted, this is a coaster site and this has absolutley nothing to do with coasters. I eat Mcdonald's or Burger king before a day at the amusement park, wendy's doesn't have a breakfast menu which they should!!!

he rocked

even if this does get closed im still sad

i hope Jeff just understands that some people like to talk about other stuff besides coasters sometimes

Yes, this hits me hard. First of all, I live in columbus. Second, one of my good friends is Dave Thomas's grandsons. A sad day, indeed
-----------------

those triple stacks are soooooo good but i can feel the fat build up in my veins when i eat them

I love there $1.00 frostys !!This is very Sad.

I live in Columbus, have been to the first Wendy's, and can say that it is my fav. fast food chain. Dave did a tremendous amount for the community. This is tragic, though his illness has lasted a long time. I think a coaster tribute is in store....."Where's the Beef? - The Ride" :) I miss that commercial!

Who cares of this doesnt have to do with coasters! When September 11 rolled around what the hell did 3 planes crashing into buildings have to do with coasters!!!??? What did the plane that crashed in Pennyslvania have to do with Coasters? What did two towers collapsing have to do with coasters? HUH? answer that one! i mean some people feel this important, and if you dont then DON'T respond!

Wow! i don't believe it. very sad. I guess this some what has to do with coasters because i remember a commercial he was in saying that u could win passes to universal florida

lol, i saw that on rotten.com earlier today. they never said it was cancer tho, the news site it links you to said that the family never told. funny how he got a QUADRUPLE bypass, too many jr bacon cheesburgers i suppose...

I found out on rotten.com to! they said Dave Thomas dies of being fat.

You know, Despite the off topicness of this post, I do feel that everyday americans felt comfortable with Dave, From Hockey to Nascar and Im sure he enjoyed parks too in the day.

Chuck, who will miss the man and the comercials.

the last time i saw dave on tv was when he doing commercials with Darrell Waltrip(retired nascar star) and Ryan Newman(up and coming star who is a rookie this year). I remember dave racing around the track and i thought it was cool.
