The
Executive Board has decided to dedicate the Union webpage
to Local President Arthur S. Vallone. As you are all
aware, Art passed away on January 30, 2005
Art, was
not only our boss, but our friend, mentor, and brother.
It is difficult for us to express in words what he meant
to us.
He always
had the Union's best interest in mind when he made
decisions, and instilled that same philosophy in his
Executive Board, Council and Stewards.
Art left a
lasting impression on everyone he came in contact with.
His thoughtfulness, kindness and caring will always be
remembered. We personally would like to thank Kim Vallone
and their children for sharing Arthur with us. Local 309
was a better place because of Arthur S. Vallone and his
idea's and efforts will continue through the many people
he touched.
We have
only fond memories of Arthur. As long as we live those
memories will be a constant reminder to think, do the
right thing and always strive to do our best.
In Solidarity,
EXECUTIVE BOARD Local 309
