It is with heavy heart that I am writing here to inform you of the loss of one of our JT&S family. Yesterday, early in the morning, John W. (Bill) Eskew passed away after an extended illness. Bill was an instructor with the JT&S program for more than twenty-five years and had over 40 years’ experience in the electric industry. Bill was dedicated to the safety of the utility workers of Tennessee and will be fondly remembered. I hope you will join me and the rest of the JT&S staff in expressing our heartfelt condolences to Bill’s family. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers as they navigate this time of loss. We do not have any details regarding any services or arrangements, but will post them on our website when they become available. Bill, you will be missed and remembered.
