Construction worker who died at Wynn casino site was the ‘rock of his family’
A construction worker who died Tuesday after an accident at the site of the Wynn Boston Harbor resort and casino under construction in Everett was remembered by his daughter Thursday as a mentor to many, a devoted husband, and “the rock’’ of their family.
Cassandra Teixeira, 27, of Seekonk said she and her family are relying on each other and a large network of relatives and friends as they come to terms with the loss of Joe Teixeira, 56, whose death is under investigation by federal and state authorities.
“We’re doing the best we can. . . . He taught us to be strong, and we’re just coming together to be strong for each other,’’ she said. “The community has been huge, and so has the family and friends. My dad wouldn’t want us to not move on. It’s just not who he was.’’
