Joe D. GUNN

I knew Joe during the 1980's when I represented Southwestern Bell at the State Capitol. He was a good man and a man of integrity. I respected his work and his dedication to his CWA members. Even though we were not always on the same side of an issue, he treated me with respect and we were able to work out our differences. Truly a fine gentleman.

Condolences to the Gunn family. No two greater people have I ever known than Joe and Dorothy Gunn. Rest in peace Joe.

My deepest sympathy to Joe's family. What a wonderful man and friend. With his help I was able to continue work with the State in order to retire. I will always be grateful for his kindness. May all the wonderful memories you have live forever in your hearts.

I was sorry to read of Joe's passing. I knew him both from TEC and the labor movement . He was a fighter for justice , decency , and fairness. Que vaya con Dios! His family must be justly proud of him and his life. My condolences to them.

I did not know Mr. Gunn personally but I worked for TEC for 30 years and one the meetings he was trying to get something done and he made the statement the majority wins "But me and the Lord makes a majority". Mr. Gunn's family has my sympathy for their lost.

Sincerely,

Nellie Lawson Haller

I am honored having the opportunity to know Joe. He was the type person that you knew... you knew him when you first shook his hands.He was truly one of a kind and never forgot his roots no matter what level of power he rose to in the hierarchy of Labor...Joe Gunn never wavered from who he was and stood strong on principal. I was honored that Joe asked me to second his nomination in 1989 as he was being nominated for President of the Texas AFL-CIO and that is a memory I will always...
