Happy Birthday, sir! Thank you for your many years of service!

Today we’d like to wish Retired FF Joseph Bodoni a happy 97th Birthday. Joe was a member of Rockport’s Ladder Company as well as an EMT for the Rockport Ambulance Department. No matter what time of day, Joe was always the first to arrive at Central after the horn sounded. We wish you continued health and happiness !!!!!

The Rockport Firemen's Association is saddened to hear of the passing of representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante. She never forgot where she came from, and was always a strong advocate for p***c safety, and the Cape Ann community in general.

Our thoughts and condolences to her family, friends and co-workers during this very difficult time.

Rest in Peace and thank you for your service.....

It is with a broken heart that we announce the loss of our dear friend and mentor Representative Ann-Margaret Ferrante, who passed away early this morning at the age of 53 after a long and brave journey with pancreatic cancer.

First elected to the legislature in 2008, Ann-Margaret dedicated her legislative career to ensuring that Cape Ann always had a seat at the table in legislative matters; always focused on our fishermen, jobs and economic development, and helping those in need.

Driven by her faith and her focus on community, Ann-Margaret lived to embody the social gospel of Matthew: "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me."

Ann-Margaret's legacy persists in those causes which she led and championed: the establishment of Gloucester Marine Genomics Institute, Inc. and Gloucester Biotechnology Academy, bringing the Imagination Library to Cape Ann's children, the expansion of The Open Door to help those in need, her focus on giving the people of Cape Ann and the Commonwealth new opportunities, and much more. She has touched the lives of many she never knew and who never knew her.

A sincere thank you to everyone who has prayed, lent a hand, and loved Ann-Margaret over the past five years as she contended with this awful disease. She never forgot how fortunate she was to have such loving and caring friends.

An obituary and details on arrangements will be forthcoming. Please keep Ann-Margaret's family and loved ones in your thoughts at this difficult time.
