Roslindale man died at his own home in yesterday's Washington Street crash

My colleagues and I at the Parks Department received an email about this today. Egidio D'Antuony, literally only a couple of years from retirement, was considered an outgoing and outstanding worker. I never met the man but wish I had.

Outside of work, Egidio was considered to be an excellent neighbor who spent a lot of time on his front porch greeting neighbors and those just passing by. It would seem he died doing what he loved on his porch.

What a horrible tragedy and a wake up call that real change is needed on Boston's busiest roads.
