Remembering Brother Jerre Riggle

We are saddened to inform our members that Jerre Riggle, the former field representative for the Youngstown/Warren area, passed away last week.

“Jerre was a good, loyal union man. He was a hard worker and when he got his marching orders – even if nobody else was doing it – Jerre did it. He followed through and led by example. The whole Local 23 family was very lucky to call him a brother and he will be missed,” said Lee Kurtz, former Local 8 President and retired member of 52 years.

Over the weekend, many of Riggle’s former union brothers and sisters attended his funeral service, paying respects to him and his family.

As a testament to his dedication to this union and all we stand for, Brother Jerre’s trowel and hammer were placed beside his ashes. Solidarity.
