We write today with sad news. On March 9, Bruce Williams passed away in his sleep.
Bruce served the American Federation of Government Employees Local 2600 and GSA Council 236 diligently for decades. He devoted his time to the union and continued to serve the bargaining unit members well after his official agency retirement.
Our thoughts and deepest sympathies are with the Williams family.
Flowers are appreciated. They can be purchased online through Evergreen Washelli Memorial Park.
