RIP Dennis Bradt

It is with a heavy heart that we commemorate Dennis Bradt, a CWA Local 1101 member who died on May 13 from COVID -19. Dennis held a number of different positions at Conifer Park, most recently as an Addiction Technician. "I had the privilege of getting to know Dennis over these past years and he was as stand-up as they come," said Local 1101 Business Agent Ken Spatta. "He lost his long, hard fought battle with COVID at just 29 years old. Our prayers and the condolences of all of CWA Local 1101 go out to his family and friends."

RIP Dennis Bradt
