LEROY, N.Y. — The parents of a construction laborer who died from heat exposure at a Geneseo job site last summer are working to make sure his death didn’t happen in vain. They support a federal effort to highlight their son’s death — in an educational campaign.
For Jim and Kathy Barber, the good times with their son, Tim, are captured in photos.
“If you don't look at the good times, you'll be stuck in that horrific day,” said Kathy Barber.
The day she refers to was July 7, 2020 — son Tim Barber’s second day on the job as a laborer on the Genesee River bridge project on Rt. 63 in Geneseo. The LeRoy couple remembers Tim not feeling quite right after his first day of work, and him getting up early to report for day two.
