EXECUTIVE BOARD VACANCY - DISTRICT 4 Please see the Go Fund Me Page information below from Tony Ruiz, IBEW 89 Business Representative/Organizer. Dear Local 89 family, It is with great sorrow that we must report on the passing of our Brother, Adam Foote. It is never easy to report the loss of one of our own, and even harder when it is someone who left such a lasting impression on everyone he met or worked with. Adam’s stature, charming southern disposition, and remarkable hair, made him a truly unique personality amongst coworkers, and the Northwest in general. Anyone who had the pleasure of meeting Adam was sure to walk away with a laugh and a smile on their face. Especially if you were lucky enough to share an inside joke with him. As a seasoned Lineman, Adam never shied away from the call of duty. Always ready and willing to help whenever needed. Whether it was a storm damage, cut cable or emergency outage, he was the first volunteer to stay and work through the night until the job was done. Adam’s devotion played a critical part in the rebuilding process after the recent Oregon wildfires. An unsung hero in those communities as he and his crew restored essential communication services to thousands of Oregon residents. Adam defined himself through his trade and the service he provided to his community. Sadly, Adam leaves behind a stay-at-home wife and 5 children. A young family losing their father is crushing, losing their sole wage earner can be devastating beyond repair. Aside from the emotional support from family, friends and his union siblings, the family's biggest need right now is financial assistance. Adam’s sister has started a GoFundMe to help cover expenses until the family can recover and move forward. If you’d like to make a donation, please do so using the following link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/foote-family-memorial-fund . Please, take this opportunity to appreciate the loved ones in your life and realize that nothing in life is guaranteed, not even tomorrow. Thank you for any assistance you are able to provide. In Solidarity, IBEW Local 89 Tony Ruiz, IBEW Local 89 Business Rep/Organizer Mobile (503) 941-0835 Fax (503) 643-5934
