Tape Release 1/13/2020

I’m saddened to announce the passing of two retirees this past week.

Dick Matczak passed away on January 5th at the age of 75.  Dick retired in the late 90’s with over 30 years of service, he was an IR tech at the time of his retirement working out of the Norton St. office.  The following arrangements have been announced.

Calling hours will be held:

Friday, January 17th from 4 to 8pm at the Harris Funeral Home, 570 Kings Highway S., Rochester, NY 14617.

Funeral Service will be held:

Saturday, January 18th at 9:30am, St. Kateri Parish, 445 Kings Highway S., Rochester, NY 14617

Brad Allen passed on Saturday, January 11th at the age of 70.  Brad was a Switch tech with over 40 years of service at the time of his retirement.  He passed away due to Mesothelioma, an occupational cancer, which progressed rapidly.

Calling hours will be held:

Friday, January 17th from 4 to 7pm at the Thomas Funeral Chapel, 4545 Lake Ave., Rochester, NY 14612.

Funeral Service will be held:

Saturday, January 18th at 9am the Thomas Funeral home, 4545 Lake Ave. Rochester, NY 14612

On behalf of the Union, I want to extend our sympathies to both Dick and Brad’s family and friends.  They were both good members who participated and supported their Union.

Another note, law enforcement recently ticketed one of our drivers for their vehicle not being in safety compliance, because of this they are looking more closely for Frontier vehicles at safety checks.  If your vehicle’s tires and brakes are worn, get them in to get fixed.  The liability is on you, the driver.

This is your President John Pusloskie, thanking you for calling your Union tape, the place where we’re Union and proud of it.
