I remember Fergie from back in the early '80s when my family would have a lot of backups and Mr. Ferguson worked for the sewer division. My father was developing Alzheimer's at a time when the disease was not well known and Fergie was so kind and respectful to him. I remember he wrote his name on the wall in the cellar so my father knew who to call. I'm glad he had a nice retirement.

My deepest condolences to Marilyn and family. My memories of Fergie go back to my childhood and card games at 67 Dalby St in Newton, home of my grandparents, Henry & Grace Boudreau. May you rest in peace, Fergie, and say hi to Auntie Fun for me!
