The cremains of the late SIU Asst. VP Government Services Chester “Chet” Wheeler were scattered by his family during the SS Jeremiah O’Brien’s annual memorial cruise on the West Coast. Several of Chet’s family members attended, including his wife, Rebecca; his son (and former SIU member) Adam Hanson; granddaughters Alexandrea and Annalynn; and sister Deborah Novachick. SIU Patrolwoman Kathy Chester attended on behalf of the union. #1u #SIU #Seafarers

For those who haven’t heard, we report with heavy hearts that SIU Patrolman Jesse Sunga Jr. passed away last week, at age 36. Although the cause of death is unknown, all indications are that Jesse passed away peacefully, in his sleep. We’re light on details at this point but are planning to include a more complete remembrance in the August Log. #1u #SIU #Seafarers #Love #Respect #RestInPeace
