Celadon Group Inc. Mourns Death of Director Tony Heyworth
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. 6, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Celadon Group, Inc. (NYSE: CGI) with great sadness announces that Tony Heyworth, a member of their Board of Directors, has passed away. Mr. Heyworth had been a director at Celadon for the past 15 years. Mr. Heyworth was chairman of the Audit and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board of Directors (the Audit Committee) and a member of the Compensation Committee. Mr. Heyworth retired from KeyCorp in February 2001 as Vice Chairman, Commercial Banking, KeyBank N.A., after a 36 year career with this financial services company. He was 70 years old.
"Tony has also been a great advocate and supporter of Celadon in the Indianapolis community as well as with our banks. We will miss him and the valuable input he has brought to Celadon over the years," stated Paul Will, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As Tony has battled cancer over the past year, we made the decision to begin our transition by adding an independent director to the board that possesses the qualifications to be a financial expert. It is for this reason that we voted Robert Long to our board at our annual shareholders meeting on December 11. Bob is the former managing partner of the Indianapolis office of KPMG and we believe his extensive accounting and public company experience, including his board experience, qualifies him to fill the previous board roles held by Tony.
