Re: Remembering, Edgar Arthur Pilon, Canadian Tow Operator, LODD December 27, 1954

[rreschran]

I woke this morning to remember, Edgar Arthur Pilon, a young, Canadian tow operator, who was tragically killed 68-years ago on December 27^th, 1954. Mr. Pilon was involved in winching a vehicle that was lodged in a ditch. A motorist, driving too fast for the blizzard like conditions, lost control and skidded into Mr. Pilon and his tow truck. Let this message serve as a reminder of the dangers towers face, especially now as this frigid blast marches across the US and Canada. Mr. Pilon's name was added to Chattanooga's Wall of the Fallen October 2019 with his adult children in attendance.  Rest in peace Mr. Pilon, you are not forgotten.  R.
