ffemt44My work family could use some prayers
I’ve mentioned before I work on the road with an amazing group of guys. A week and a half ago my work family took a hard hit.
Some of you may have heard of the stairwell collapse in Boston on March 2. A friend of mine was crushed and another is still in ICU. On top of that 2 of my work family missed being involved in this incident by a matter of seconds.
The man who passed worked by my side for months on end and leaves behind a child.
My friend in ICU is a hell of a man he put everything he had into his business to better life for his wife and child.
On top of that the man who literally saved my life 4 years ago walked out of the collapse area less than a minute before shit went bad. He’s on my job now he told the corporate bosses he’d only work with me or one other foreman.
The other coworker walked out 10 seconds before shit went sideways. He covered my jobsite in December when my daughter was born.
Those guys are hurting and if you could pray for them.

GraniteguyI did hear about this. Condolences on the loss of your friend and associate. And prayers to your surviving co-worker for a full recovery.
Boston is having some bad luck this year with construction deaths and injuries - I believe 2 construction workers were killed/run over back in February by one of their own crew trucks.
