On Wednesday we lost a very dear employee, Ricky Dockery. Ricky had worked for several other utilities throughout the Valley, while with contractors. Fort Loudoun Electric (FLEC) was blessed by his working as a contract lineman that helped us upgrade many lines prior to his becoming an employee. Ricky was an FLEC employee: lineman, foreman, and serviceman for over 15 years. Ricky will be missed by so many! His family and the FLEC corporate family are very appreciative of the thoughts and prayers!
DOCKERY, Ricky Lee, age 56, of Coker Creek, passed away at 2:30 A.M. on Wednesday, January 19, 2022 at Sweetwater Hospital.
