“Dear valued customers and friends of Flyboy’s:
It is with sincere gratitude and a heavy heart that we announce the closing of Flyboy’s Deli in Oakwood. This has been a very difficult and emotional decision and we are so sad to say goodbye after 11 years. As some of you may already know, the family has been going through very difficult times recently. Unice, one of the two owners, passed away after a tough battle with cancer earlier this year. Steve, her husband and the other owner, suffered a major stroke last year and is still recovering in a long-term care facility. Given the circumstances, the family has reached a decision to close Flyboy’s. We want to assure you that this decision was not taken lightly. Our last day will be Saturday, April 20.
Our customers have been the greatest treasures of Flyboy’s. On Steve, Unice, and all staff’s behalf, we just want to say THANK YOU for all your incredible support during the 11 years. Oakwood is such a special community – warm and welcoming neighbors, dedicated small business owners, and a safe neighborhood for families to grow. It has truly been an honor to serve this community. We share so many great memories with this community (weddings, graduations, promotions, birthdays, just to name a few), and those memories will always be in our hearts.
We would also like to thank our staff, past and present, for all the hard work and efforts throughout the years. We were incredibly lucky to have the most committed and talented staff here at Flyboy’s. It’s impossible to express the deep gratitude we have for all of you. Thank you for being part of the Flyboy’s family, and we will forever be grateful.Once again, thank you for all your support, and we wish you all the best!
Sincerely,
The Flyboy’s Family”
