Deepest sympathy to the family. I was in the freshman class at Fisk with Judge Work's wife Beverly and remember them both well. Even then, he stood out above the crowd and am not surprised at his illustrious career.

There was never a time when I didn't hear the name of Atty. Work in a positive light. He was truly a beacon and strong tower in Gary. He was a truly one of God's servant. He will be missed but his legacy lives on.
My prayers are with the family.

Atty Frederick T. Work will be dearly missed by Atty Wardell Hampton Jr. & Family. He was a man full of joy, love, strength and wisdom that I admired in him when I groing up. I ask the Lord to help you all through this time of sorrow in the loss of your husband, father and grandfather. God Bless You and Keep You All In His Perfect Peace And Strength Through These Trying Time.

God Bless the Work family at this time as the judge will be remembered for a long time.
I know my dad (Ray Ostrowski) was waiting with open arms for the hug from one of his best friends.
We all had such a great time working in Gary in the 60's & 70's. What a great group of friends and community back then.
