My deepest condolences to the Ferony family. I knew Richie as a foreman in Local 3. He always balanced treating his crew with dignity and respect along with completing the job in the best interests of both his employer and his union. Everyone wanted to work for Richie. He was smart and funny and a great foreman. All great qualities in our business. He was more than a boss to me and I will always consider him my friend and of course my brother. Our Local 3 family will always hold him with high regard and will miss him. I wish to again express my deepest sympathies for the Ferony family and his friends.

To the Ferony Family ( especially Edwina & Richie), I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your son Richie. Please accept my sincere sympathy and thoughts for both of you and your family . The first and last time I had a conversation with him was when he came to put a light up in my kitchen that had belonged to my Mom. He was such a gentlemen and you could tell he belonged to the Ferony Family, brought up with respect and love.
