    Much sympathy to the Hobson family. I worked with Louie at “Vepco” many, many years ago. I don’t think there could be a nicer or funnier guy. Always the gentleman. He always liked to bring humor to presentations he gave and he had a wig that he would put on to be funny. One day I opened his desk drawer and screamed because I thought that wig was an animal curled up in there! I’m glad to know that he enjoyed a long and active retirement and touched so many lives.

    I worked with Lew many years in the 1970s, 80s and 90s at Virginia Power. He was an inspirational, motivated and creative leader who was a pleasure to work with.
