Many times we overlook those who serve our cause as Road Technicians. One of those was Mr. kennedy of Waynesboro GA. Owner and operator of Kennedy's Apartments about 4 miles from Plant Vogtle His passing was just 1 day after the passing of Ms. Debbie Sass in our grief at that time we missed the chance to give thanks for the life and kindness of Mr. Kennedy. His son Chris is well known to all of us OLD TIMERS of the Southern System for a number of years. I'll never forget working with Debbie Sass at Sheron Harris with Wayne Walters so many years ago. She will be sorely missed by all. But the very next day Unfortunatly Chris kennedy's father passed away also. Overlooked in our grief for one of our own. But for a number of years the Kennedy family of Waynesboro ,GA. time and time again unselfeshly continued to open up thier Apartments during outage times at Vogtle even as outages became shorter and shorter and much less profitable to the point of being a Labor of Love ( Staying open to help H.P.'s and Decon Technicians ) than a venture of Profit. We must alway's remember the Local Friendships we make over the years at the many locations we visit (work) at over the years and give the correct PROPS to those who have helped up over the years allowing us a close and safe place to stay during our short stay's in the area where we are but Guest for a short while. GOOD BYE OLD FRIEND, RICHARD P. STONEY G.E. SAFETY REP. LOVE YA, GO DAWGS
I was at St. Lucie when i learned of the passing of Roger Kennedy. Although he was not a RoadTech, he was a friend to all who live and played at the Kennedy's Bar and Grill. Roger was a friends friend. I don't think he every meet a stranger that he would have turned his back on. The first time i meet him, was at the bar. I pulled in got out of my truck and went in, the first thing he ask me was if i needed any money, or something to eat. This is a huge loss to all of us who knew Roger. I don't know if it is possible to count the number of techs that Roger helped. He always had a smile and something nice to say, he loved to meet everyone who stayed with him.All the cook outs and the food and beer, all the parties. Once again i have lost another friend. I stayed at the Kennedy compound more that most and never had any problems. I will miss him . Roger may you always rest in peace, thank you for all your kind words and you care. Chris and Brenda, i can't tell you how sad i am about your loss. Roger was a great man and freind. Love to ya. Remo
