Chick Filet founder Samuel Truett Cathy age 93 died early Monday morning, His family announced at the Jonesboro 1st Baptist Church on Sunday September 7, 2014 that Mr. Cathy was seriously ill.
Mr. Cathy started the business in 1946 on Central Avenue in Hapeville, GA. One of the best places to work and eat, his company has grown across the nation and made him and his family very rich in the process. But Mr. Cathy has given back to the community many times over. His Christian beliefs and lifestyle has kept his restaurant closed on Sundays since its inception. Mr. Cathy turned the company over to his son Dan Cathy to be CEO as his health began to decline. The fast food giant’s funeral will be held Wednesday at First Baptist Church of Jonesboro, where his family has attended church for years.
Lord thank you for sharing Mr. Cathy with us all.
