It’s with a heavy heart that I let you know that brother John Ratkovich passed away on October 18^th at the age of 78 years old. Brother John was a union member for over 24 years. Those of you who know John will remember his bruit strength, very large and strong hands, and was the kindest person you ever met. I had the privilege of knowing John and working with him and he will be deeply missed. The family has asked anyone who has memories to share with the family, to send them to me and I will make sure they get them.

Fraternally,

Randy Rojas

Business Representative,
