Thanks to his vision and dedication, we have a home where the core activities of our organisation have been carried out ever since.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>He was also a founding member of Union Syndicale Bruxelles, serving for decades as treasurer and as a committed member of the Board. Over his 57 years of involvement, Henri remained a steadfast and loyal representative of the USB. He was always attentive, offering thoughtful perspectives and sound advice whenever it was needed.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>For those who knew him, Henri will be remembered for his kindness, his integrity, and his lifelong commitment to the values of solidarity and public service. And for those who did not know him personally, know that if you are a member of our trade union today, you are connected to him through his unionist spirit. His dedication helped shape the very foundations on which Union Syndicale stands.<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div>The Executive Committee of Union Syndicale Bruxelles extends its sincere condolences to Henri\u2019s family.
