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.

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!!!!!!!

Re: Accidental Loss of Life
 

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?

Re: Accidental Loss of Life
 

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!!!

Re: Accidental Loss of Life
 

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

Re: Accidental Loss of Life
 

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

Re: Accidental Loss of Life
 

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

Where can I contribute?
