To the Members of Dalton Fire Company ~ Station 5
On behalf of the members of Lake Winola Fire Company, please accept our deepest condolences on the passing of Doc, who was also a life member with our department.
The loss of a brother in the fire service is felt deeply throughout the entire fire community. We know that a life member leaves behind not only memories, but a lasting legacy of dedication, service, friendship, and commitment to the community.
Our thoughts and prayers are with your department, Doc's family, friends, and all those who had the privilege of serving alongside him.
May Doc's years of service never be forgotten, and may his memory continue to live on within your department and the communities he served.
Rest easy, Doc. Your watch is over. We’ll take it from here.
With deepest sympathy,
Lake Winola Fire Company
