Default Accidental Loss of Life

Received via SECO storm news. Tropical Storm Fay never reached hurricane status, but she caused tremendous damage and she claimed lives as she pounded Florida for days on end.

I thought we could say a little prayer for this gentleman and his family........

A SECO Employee, 47-year-old Curtis King died while trying to repair an overhead power line that had been damaged by a fallen tree. "Line technicians are a special breed. They take great pride in dealing with often horrendous conditions to restore power to families affected by storms and hurricanes. The job is a hazardous one and high voltage electricity rarely gives anyone a second chance."

He leaves a wife and 14-year-old daughter.
