Late yesterday afternoon, we lost a dedicated crew member of the Baltimore City Department of Public Works’ Bureau of Solid Waste. Our hearts are first and foremost with him, his family and loved ones, and his DPW colleagues as we grapple with this loss. Late in the afternoon nearing the conclusion of their workday, in the Barclay neighborhood of Northeast Baltimore, Ronald Silver II experienced a medical situation that required immediate assistance while he and his fellow crew members were riding in their truck. Emergency Medical Services were called, dispatched, and Mr. Silver was transported to the hospital, where he passed away.
