My sincerest condolences to Tish and the entire family. We were neighbors when Skip, Peter and Anne Catherine were young. You were wonderful neighbors and I never forgot your kindness. May God bless you and comfort you during this difficult time.

Your dad hired me at Dominion in 1981 and became my first supervisor. On my first day he greeted me at the elevator with a tall stack of papers and said "Wecome to Customer Accounting"! When we worked overtime for customer rebillings he always made it a point to go home for dinner with his family and then come back. He instilled in me that work/life balance was essential. On his first trip back to Denmark he placed me in charge which was a huge compliment for me. He taught me how to be a good leader which carried me in my career in management. I will always remember him and cherish the times I worked for him.
Your dad was amazing and I pray for you and your families.
