In loving memory of Travis L. Sanders SSI's CEO & President It is with heavy hearts that we share in the November 13, 2012, loss of Travis L. Sanders.  Our CEO, leader and friend suffered sudden heart failure at the age of 64. Travis was a loving and devoted father.  He was a brilliant businessman and profoundly respected by the SSI family, as well as clients across the globe.  Many remember his zest for life and unfailing generosity beyond compare.  Travis will truly be missed as his death leaves a void in many lives. In recent years, he was enthusiastically working towards his retirement.  His retirement home was near completion when Our Lord called him home. In his retirement plan, Travis raised Surge Suppression Incorporated to a high level of self-sufficiency.  He very meticulously placed highly qualified people in key management positions allowing for maximum efficiency and his eventual withdrawal from the day-to-day operations to fulfill his retirement plans.  We are blessed that his vision now allows SSI continued success and growth in his absence. While mourning our leader and friend, we have our eyes focused keenly on the future.  SSI will continue to provide the best surge protective devices in the industry with the same unparallelled customer service.  As the industry leader, we will continue to raise the bar higher.  This is our future... and pledge to our customers.
