Catfish was a wonderful neighbor from the first day I moved in. He greeted me warmly, and I felt he was always looking out for me. I will miss him dearly. Becca you did a great job taking care of him. I am sorry for your family's loss.

Catfish was one of the first electricians I met when starting my sales career in 1975. In his own style, he was very welcoming and challenged me to understand how jobsite work. I also enjoyed coaching his son in Little League. Peace be with you, Cat! God Bless.
