Brothers and Sisters,

It is with great sadness that we report the loss Local 308 mail handler, David Smithlin. He succumbed to the Coronavirus (Covid-19), on Tuesday April 28th, 2020. Dave was a very humble man, who came to work, did his job and went home to his family.

Dave was 72 years old,  and was married for 41 years to his wife Carol. He was a great employee who gave the Postal Service 100% every day he clocked in and reported to work. He never had a bad word to say about anyone, and always treated his co-workers with dignity and respect. We ask that you would keep him and his family in your thoughts and prayers, along with all the other members who have been affected by this pandemic.
