'He was not just a father to me. He was a protector, a teacher, and a guide. He was everything that a father should be, and so much more,'
The family of a worker who died after a fire started at the Marathon Galveston Bay refinery in Texas City on Monday remembered him as "a man with strong morals, endless determination and a dedication to doing what's right."
Scott Higgins’ daughters and parents attended a press conference with Attorney Tony Buzbee on Friday morning. Buzbee announced the filing of a petition in a Harris County state court that names Marathon and an inspection company."We know that through this effort, we'll get the entire history regarding that unit and the surrounding units.
"He was not just a father to me. He was a protector, a teacher, and a guide. He was everything that a father should be, and so much more," his daughter Samantha said. Marathon says they do not typically comment on legal filings, but on the day of the fire, they did release a statement that said, in part, "The safety of our workers and the community is our top priority, and a full investigation will be conducted to determine the cause of the incident."
