The Amalgamated Transit Union today announced the death, due to Covid-19, of Andrew Wong of Quincy, an inspector who worked out of the Southampton bus depot.
Wong, 57, who died this past Sunday, had been a T employee, and member of the union's Local 589, also known as the Boston Carmen's Union, since 1998.
He was also an active participant in a Facebook group dedicated to photos of Boston-area public transit. In his memory, another participant went out today and wrote "Thanks 589" and "Be Safe 589" in chalk at several area bus stops.
