Memoriam: Brother Mo Hursh

It is with a heavy heart that we must say goodbye to one of our Brothers this month. Brother Mo Hursh was a dedicated, strong, and active Local 567 Member. He served as our warden for more than 20 years, checking members in with a smile and possibly telling a joke to them. When ever you would ask him how he’s doing the reply would aways be “Lousy”, but you knew it was a joke with that big smile on his face after saying it.

Brother Hursh was 76 years old at his passing, only a few weeks away from his 77^th birthday in April. He had 45 years of service with the IUPAT with a majority of his time spent working here in Northern Nevada at Local 567. Mo embodied the labor movement, he was always at every action, VAC event, and union meetings. When there was a call to action you would find Mr. Hursh there ready and willing. 

There will forever be a hole in our hearts with him being gone, but we must always remember he is will us in sprit… and as he would always say in passing or when leaving “UNION YES!”
