Dear Sisters and Brothers:
It is with profound sadness and a heavy heart that we announce the untimely passing of our Brother, Dan Suafoa. We extend our deepest condolences to his family, friends, and loved ones during this difficult time.
Dan Suafoa was an exceptional individual, both professionally and personally. Throughout his career, and especially in his role as General Chair for District 142, his contributions to our membership were immeasurable, and he played a vital role in the growth and success of our team. His loss will be felt by each and every one of us.
We encourage everyone to come together during this difficult time, supporting one another as we remember our colleague and friend. District 142’s Employee Assistance Program (EAP) is available for anyone who needs help during this time or knows a coworker who is struggling. You may contact EAP Director Paul Shultz by email at: or , and by phone at (704) 907-3563 (24 Hour Confidential Voicemail).
In our collective grief, we find strength in unity and the support of one another. We extend our deepest sympathies to Dan’s family, and we hope they find solace in the knowledge that their loved one touched the lives of so many people. We will pass along any information we have in the coming days as it becomes available.
Sincerely,
John M. Coveny, Jr.
President/Directing General Chair
