Shawne Wallace

On Friday, January 2, 2009, Vice-President Shawne Wallace passed away.  It was a shock to his fellow officers and many, many friends throughout the Union Stores.   We are all deeply saddened by this sudden and unexpected loss.

Our Union has lost a true friend, and a true unionist.  Shawne you will be missed.

Local 1-S is planning a Memorial Service for Shawne.  Details are still being discussed and we will update the members when the plans are finalized.
