13 Aug 2018I have many fond memories of my friend and mentor “Ike”. I enjoyed my time with Ike, at Berwick Electric, working as an apprentice and journeymen electrician. Ike taught me many valuable skills and ethics that have helped me throughout my career. I offer my deepest condolences to the family, especially Richard and Brenda who I knew as youngsters. Rest In Peace – “Ike”.
