My condolences to the family of Edward Ford.I speak on behalf of my deceased father and uncle whom worked many years at the Fore-river shipyard.My Uncle Joe Gramazio was a foreman there at the welding shop,and was a trustee of the local union too.I am certain that they all knew each other.Nonetheless,I recall my own fathers passing.The outpour from the family of the once infamous shipyard was tremendous.In my own small way I extend that to you. God Bless.
