This is the gate into the plant. Behind it you can see a portion of the salt pile, where Justin lost his life.
Some of Justin's old coworkers, as well as some new plant employees, were able to come out and join us in putting up the poster and flowers.
The family, Heather, Karen, Jayla, Susie, Jim, Amber, and Peggy, with Justin's picture.
The Equa Chlor employees who were able to come out and share this with us.
I was so excited and happy, because all of the workers wear this sticker on their hardhats (see it in the pictures above?) in tribute to Justin (he would've especially liked this one because of the Seahawks).
A tough thing to do, going back and seeing that huge pile of salt. I can't imagine being one of the workers, having to do that everyday, especially right after it happened. But how kind of the plant to let us put Justin's picture up in memory (especially one with that offensive mustache!).
We will truly never be able to forget that smiling face.
I'm so happy they let you do that and that you posted it! We are so grateful to how wonderful the plant's employees were and have been!
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to the new stories you'll be putting up from his friends and family! Great idea!
Lovely, Amber. Thanks for sharing. I wish we knew this was going down--we'd have been happy to meet you out there and give our support and thoughts to you and Plumey. I think this will be good for the guys to see and remember him. :)
