John Peck – Farewell

At the beginning of the week I along with a few UNISON colleagues attended the funeral of an ex UNISON rep & retired member John Peck.

I first met John when I was meeting UNISON members at Rosa Freedman day centre in 1998. He managed to jump ship before Fremantle took over the homes and went to work as a caretaker at Copthall School.

 

When John retired he became an active member of our retired members branch. John was a lovely bloke, he had been a rep and understood the need to be in a trade union.  Since his retirement John was a regular volunteer in the UNISON office helping out with branch, mailings most recently helping prepare the AGM notice this year.

On behalf of Barnet UNISON I want to pass on our condolences to his family and a big thank you for his contribution to the branch. He will be missed.
