Business Manager's Report - January

It is with deep sorrow that I am announcing the passing of Sylvio Joly.

Brother Joly joined the International union of Hod Carriers and common Labourers' Union Local 493 in 1960. He served as a representative for Local 493 until 1962 when he became the business manager of the new Local 1036 in Sault Ste. Marie up until 1973 also he was an original signer of their charter. In 1980 Sylvio transferred his card back to Local 493. For a time he ran his own masonary company but never gave up his union card or his love for the union. He was a member of LIUNA for 51 years and Local 493's longest serving member.

We should all take a moment to remember the pioneers of our great union and reflect on their accomplishments.

Rest in peace brother, you will be missed.

On behalf of all members of Local 493,

I remain,

Mike Ryan
Business Manager

  
Lest We Forget
 

Brothers and Sisters

Please take a moment to reflect on our departed members who left us in 2011. We should always remember the contributions they made to the local and the people who they came in contact with. We will always remember them.
