Junior.was a great guy. As former President of the Vigilance Hose, we had some good times together.
One story that sticks out with me is when we had a structure fire on Main Street in the Borough. I was driving the second engine in to hook into the fire hydrant and Junior was in front of me. Don’t you know he parks right in front of the fire hydrant I had to get too. I got out of the engine and yelled, “Junior you have to move your car, you are parked right in front of the fire hydrant” his response was, “Carl, it is the only place to park”. A classic moment I will never forget.
RIP my friend! You will never be forgotten by your fellow fire fire fighters!

So sad to see this, I have many great memories of junior over the years at the fire department. His love of following severe thunderstorms (and his weather cube) seems to stick with me the most. Junior was a gem, he will be greatly missed even though i haven’t seen him in many years. RIP Junior.
