New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
“I was saddened to learn of Fernando’s passing. I will be forever grateful for his support of my administration and his civic leadership in our City. His positive energy and dedication to New Bedford was never more evident to me than during our trade mission to Europe last year and more recently as a member of my administration’s Regeneration Committee. Fernando ardently believed in the deep, untapped potential of New Bedford. Whether it was in promoting wind energy, leading the board of Bristol Community College, or supporting local charities, his vision, optimism and generosity were infectious. More than anything, I will miss Fernando’s friendship. My deepest sympathy goes out to Karen and Fernando’s entire family. ”
– New Bedford Mayor Jon Mitchell
Fernando was a fraud. Wait till his finances come to fruition. He owed more money to people than he was worth. He was never the true owner of ashley ford. My partner invested close to $900,000 to ashley ford and mr garcia spent 100,000 of that on trips to the azores. God bless his soul but he was no hero or philanthropist. He spent others money to promote himself.
Eric, you are a heartless man to post such a negative message at a time when a wife and family are so freshly grieving. This man just passed today! So not appropriate and shame on you. Karma will get back at you.
if you aint got something nice to say DONT SAY IT!!! IDIOT….HE PASSED AWAY….NO ROOM FOR NEGATIVE COMMENTS!! JERK!!
Eric, your comments are disgustingly inappropriate. How unfortunate that the passing of giants leaves sunlight for those previously obscured by their shadow.
