SMART-TD Local 352 (West Springfield, Massachusetts) is mourning the loss of one of their own while supporting the family he left behind.
In December, Brother Bernard Gray, a Local 352 member who worked as a conductor for CTRail, was killed in a car accident at only 34 years old.
To help his loved ones pay for his final expenses after this unexpected loss, Brother Bernard’s union family has set up a GoFundMe.

The local wants to extend its thanks to all SMART-TD members for keeping Brother Gray’s spirit alive through their generosity and wishes to express its gratitude for the support of our union family.
