Passing of Brother Jeff Frank

We mourn the passing of Retired Streetlight Technician and IBEW 569 Brother Jeff Frank, who passed on October 28, 2017. He was 54 years old, and had been a Local 569 member for over 24 years.

After high school, Jeff explored different life paths. By the time he was 24, he was working for a non-Union streetlighting company. Local 569 managed to “woo him away” in early 1988. He worked for Select Electric for a little over two years, and then decided to follow a different path. Jeff returned to Select Electric and our Local in mid-1993, and stayed. He worked for Select for 21 years. In 2014, Brother Frank began working at Perry Electric.

At work, he believed in giving a good day’s work for a good day’s pay, and when he wasn’t working, he ‘soaked in” life. He continued with Perry for two years, until his health status caused him to cease work in March 2016.
