Accidental Loss of Life

[JohnnyM]

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.

Johnny....absolutely...God Bless....but is there anything else we can do for them! I am sure we can have some sort of TOTV donation center to get them things or funds that they may need!!!!!!!

[JohnnyM]

Maria, this has come up a few times. We do need some sort of coordinator to take the lead in either sending a card from TOTV members or if necessary, donation control. It is hard when many members are not in TV and spintered throughout the country at times. Any ideas?

[Cassie325]

I believe we would have to start some sort of nonprofit organization or do it through a local church....then donations can be watched and known as legitimate!!!

[redwitch]

You could always call SECO. Odds are a bank is already accepting contributions for the family.

[samhass]

I agree with Red and hope SECO has initiated something..and if they haven't, they should.

[redwitch]

I did forget to say that my heartfelt prayers are going out to this family.

Where can I contribute?
