Passings

It is with a heavy heart that our local is fighting through the day.

With the everyday stress of our job and the contract negotiations we also add the loss of a fellow CO from Maplehurst.

Steve Dickson will be missed by all those who knew him.

Please take the time to reflect on what is important in life and those we have our special bonds with. Support each other.

Time for a CO is counted on a shorter scale as we cram more into our lives knowing what we can lose just by showing up to work.

It is our way.

It is what makes us run to assist each other and stand together in bad times.

It is what solidarity is about.

We need it now, more than ever.

Sincerely, in solidarity, Emidio.

Please accept our deepest condolences in the passing of our Brother. Our thoughts are with his family and those who knew and worked with him. If you are able to let us know the arrangements I will pass them on to my members.
Respectfully and in Solidarity,
John Mitchell, Brantford Jail 247

I believe the messages were sent to the jails. The family has requested a private service and an obituary is in a KW area newspaper.
