John Dineen Passes

We're told former National Lodge President and FOP Lodge 7 President John Dineen passed yesterday, but can find almost no coverage.

He was a consequential man during a time a massive change and led the Lodges through various trial and tribulations. He is the reason for many of the Contractual protections currently in force.

He had his critics, too, and we're sure they'll be telling their side. He wasn't perfect, but he was better than a lot of what followed over the years.
