Leo Cloutier

It is with much sadness that we report the passing of our friend Leo Cloutier on August 23rd, 3:30PM, due to complications caused by cancer, after a long and painful struggle.

Leo was a tireless supporter of the independent service industry, giving of his time and talent to many industry related causes and events. Leo was serving as NESDA Treasurer and Region 5  Director at the time of his passing. For many years Leo traveled to the ESDA summer conferences to promote the industry and to teach the CSM classes. It was our privilege to nominate Leo for membership in  the Electronic Industry Hall of Fame in 2010. It was a testament to the high regard our membership held for Leo that the nomination fee was raised on the spot with individual contributions from the members.  He will be missed.

Condolences may be sent to his wife, Gina, and brother-in-law, Ernie:

In accordance with his wishes, his remains will be cremated.

Any further details will be posted as they become available.

MWSC Hotel Venue Name Changed

by Jim Kliss

We’ve recently learned that the Holiday Inn City Centre Hotel, where we are holding this year’s Midwest Regional Service Conference is undergoing a name change to the Four Points by Sheraton.  There is no change in price for this year, and the excellent service and amenities will not change, the hotel will simply be under a different name.  For more information about the MWSC, please visit the conference site at http://mwsc.esdaweb.org.
