I am feeling the loss of a great friend, retired IBEW Local 21 Vice President/Assistant Business Manager & retired IBEW International Representative Rick Gessler very deeply today, said IBEW Local 21 President/ Business Manager Paul Wright. Rick was instrumental in my career from the very beginning. Rick encouraged me to become a steward and then mentored and inspired me to fight for workers rights as passionately as he always did. He taught me so much over the years. He has my eternal gratitude. Rest easy Brother. I invite you to read more about Rick’s legacy in the attached obituary and to keep his wife Mary and the rest of his family in your thoughts and prayers.
