So sorry to hear of your dad passing. We always had a great time picking on each other way back when. Hope to be able to see you all on Thursday.

May God bless LA and all of the family. I have only good memories of LA. He was a great teacher and mentor to me as I learned about the power business - especially field operations. LA and Rabun Jeffers always kept things interesting during REACT training. LA got me, a young novice, to throw-in a transformer fuse and when it exploded like a 12-guage shotgun going off, everyone got a big laugh, then came the lesson…look for faults, look for damage, look for all kinds of problems and potential trouble, then when you are sure that everything is good (in-the-clear) then you can make it hot and get the lights back on. LA was a good man with a good heart, a good personality, a jolly laugh, and he was a top professional when it came to “keeping the lights on.” God bless him.

It was with sadness I read of LA passing away. He was a good friend and it was always great to see him when he would stop in any of my restaurants over the years. He was my little league football coach and it always made him smile when I called him Coach LA! I will miss that smile and I know I am not alone. My prayers are with his family. May God wrap his loving arms around you and bring you peace that only He can. He was a great guy! Dwell on the fond memories of good times and know there were many!

L.A. will be truly missed. Took me to my first baseball game and got my brothers and I there early so we could all get free cameras. Always kind and thoughtful. It was truly a pleasure to spend time with him as a kid. Riding around in his caddy and cracking jokes, taking us out to the golf course. All fond memories. Thank you for welcoming my brothers and I into your home. Till next time! I will always remember you buddy.

Gary, Randy and Terri, so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. What a great guy and friend. Always so much fun company. Such great stories!!

Gary, Randy, and Terri I am sorry to have heard the news of LA passing. May the good Lord embrace him and bless him. There are so many fun times that I had with him over last 30+ yrs that I will always remember. No matter what the occasion was whether getting on Savh QB club bus going to Athens for football game and doing my impersonations making everyone laugh or sitting at his table as a guest at QB Club Annual Bowl dinner enjoying his company and everyone seated with us. I always introduced him as the chairman of the boards. Whenever LA, Henry Rappe, and I got together there was never a dry eye because we were always laughing telling stories or jokes. Believe me LA had some funny stories. I use to tell those 2 guys if you ever need anything I'm a phone call away. Henry is probably telling LA right now " where you've been old buddy!? We've got some catching up to do." Right now the good Lord is telling LA at the Percy gates " LA come on in. Savh Electric has left the lights on for ya." One more thing the night LA was inducted into GSAHOF May 2015 he was overwhelmed with excitement and joy. Now he's in there forever with his two sons Gary and Randy. God bless you LA.
