Locomotive Engineer Rick Masek completed his 35 year career Wednesday February 6th 2008 in Winnipeg arriving at the Diesel Shop booking inn room around 2030. He was met by many friends, co-workers, Union Executive and CP Managers. Vice President of the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference Douglas Finnson was on hand as well to offer congratulations and best wishes on behalf of the Union.

Rick started his career with CPR as a laborer at the scrap dock in 1973, he later transferred to the Running Trades and qualified as a Locomotive Engineer in 1984. He also served as the Secretary Treasurer of Division 76 for the past 5 years. Dick's skills and professionalism will certainly be missed by all at our monthly Union meetings.

Dick has a trip planned to Mexico next week after which he further plans to travel with his wife's work as well as spend time on the highway in the summer months aboard his motorcycle touring the country. On behalf of all of Dick's co-workers we wish him congratulations and a long happy, healthy retirement. A true Gentleman.
