We mourn the passing of Retired Journeyman Inside Wireman Brother Danny S. De Bruin, who was 62 years old, and had been a Local 569 member for over 21 years.
Brother De Bruin had explored other life and work paths, by the time he arrived at Local 569, in 2003. He brought enough electrical work experiance with him, to start partway through Local 569’s inside wireman’s apprenticeship program. Danny secured the remainder of his apprenticeship training at Neal Electric and Southland Electric. He graduated in 2008, and stayed with Southland for another 17 years.
Danny really enjoyed sharing his electrical knowledge, as he taught at the Electrical Training Institute (ETI) for several years, and was awarded Journeyman Trainer of the Year, on June 12, 2015. Danny had just retired in May.
His family will host a Celebration of Life in late September. Please contact Janine at the San Diego Local Union office for more info.
