MLGW Employee Killed in Motorcycle Accident

MLGW employee David Hopper, age 53, was killed in an early morning motorcycle crash on Monday, May 28, 2012. Hopper, a 26-year employee at MLGW began his career in Gas Distribution as a helper and then utility worker at Hickory Hill Service Center. In 1988, he became a meter reader and moved on to Customer Service Field Operations as a Customer Service Tech in 2003 at HHSC. In 2005, he moved to Brunswick Service Center. Tragically, Hopper is the third employee this year who has been fatally injured in a motorcycle accident.

Milton Bluitt, Supervisor, CS/FO-BSC says Hopper will be missed. "He was a real outgoing person, loved the outdoors. He rode his motorcycle all the time. He was a good hearted person and would do anything to help other techs here. He showed a lot of initiative in helping train new techs coming into customer service."

Funeral arrangements details are forthcoming.
