In Memory

With great sorrow I inform you of the passing of retired Local 894 Brother Barry Howard in his 77th year. Brother Howard was initiated into Local 894 in May 1954. During his many years as a member of Local 894 Brother Howard was very active and participated in organizing several union events including the annual picnic, the Local 894 hockey teams and baseball teams and Ladies Night etc. We send our sincere condolences to his family, relatives and friends. Barry will be dearly missed but not forgotten.
