MOW Mourns Irving Ward, HVAC Maintainer, 62
Irving Ward, an HVAC maintainer with 8 years of service with NYCT, died on January 3 after a long illness. Brother Ward worked out of 140th Street HVAC and will be sorely missed. Brooklyn born, Brother Ward graduated from Alexander Hamilton Tech and went from there to Lincoln Tech. He had a passion for working on cars, so his career as an HVAC maintainer was a natural fit. MOW Vice President Richard Rocco sends his condolences to Brother Ward's wife, Magnolia Barnes-Ward, his children and his entire extended family. Ward had a passion for house music and you can hear his extensive mixtapes here.
