The Stories Behind the Service
April 18 is National Lineman Appreciation Day, a time to recognize the men and women whose hard work keeps our communities connected every day. Our lineworkers take pride in their work, using their skill and dedication to restore power and help the members we serve, often working long hours in tough conditions. Their efforts make a difference in the lives of everyone in our communities.
To honor their commitment, we are proud to highlight four of our lineworkers here at REMC and share what inspired them to become lineworkers. Their stories show the care, courage, and dedication that go into keeping our lights on and our communities running smoothly.

Cronnie Davis
Journeyman Lineman

Nothing is more rewarding than restoring power and helping bring the community back to life.”

What keeps me going is my crew, providing for my family, and the feeling of turning the lights back on for a community, especially after storm or long nights.”
