In Memoriam On April 23, 2020, it so happened that few projects were in progress, placing nearly all the senior Civil Division employees on the same site—the Station 127 Phase 1 Buildout project in Farmington, N.Y. That day, Kyle received a call no one ever wants to take, notifying him that there was a medical emergency with one of our employees on the site. Cole Hardenbrook from the company’s Safety Department was there that day to do a site safety visit. He and one of the laborers are both trained frst responders. Because of our robust safety, frst aid, and CPR training, everyone did exactly what they were trained to do by muscle memory— they performed CPR, called for an ambulance, ensured the ambulance had a clear path to the site, and assisted in every way possible. Unfortunately, Loren Chilson passed away that day due to undiagnosed medical issues. The whole company took his loss very hard because he was one of the hardest workers, a valuable employee of more than 20 years, and a friend to many. Loren Chilson was one of the frst employees of KBH, where he worked as a carpenter, mason, and heavy equipment operator.
