In Loving Memory

It is with deep sadness that we announce the passing of our longtime colleague and friend, Danny Cason.

Danny joined G. Ben Turnipseed Engineers in 2000 as an Inspector and gave more than two decades of dedicated service to our organization. He was known, affectionately, for his love of a good fuss. Danny took pride in making sure every detail was exactly right, and whether that came from a pursuit of perfection or simply from being Danny, it brought both quality and character to everything he touched.

He will be remembered not only for his work, but for his kindness, his integrity, and the genuine friendships he built along the way. Our hearts go out to Tammy and the entire Cason family.

Celebrating The Youngest Roll Call Donor

Trey Turnipseed (age 9), loves Georgia Tech. He gave $3 to his grandfather, Mr. Ben Turnipseed, C.E., and asked him to donate it to Georgia Tech on his behalf.

Instead of a simple Thank You note, they went a little bigger. Check out their post on X.com.

Trey is recognized by Georgia Tech Alumni Association (@gtalumni) as the youngest Roll Call donor.

World Down Syndrome Day

On March 21^st, our Augusta office wore their craziest and most colorful socks to promote World Down Syndrome Day.  The date is significant because people who have Down Syndrome have 3 copies of their 21st chromosome, and the chromosome-shape looks like a sock.  Augusta’s newest CADD operator, Laura, is not only skilled in lacrosse and soccer but has quite the arm too!  She scored the most points during the quick game of Put a Sock In It, where employees earned points throwing socks into pieces of leftover pipes from projects.  Alicia was voted as the person wearing the Craziest Socks.  She says her socks were not the craziest, but were definitely the Most Beautiful, because they displayed photos of her three grands.  Employees also donated money to the National Down Syndrome Society.
