Please accept my sincere condolences on the passing of your father “Donny”. He will always be fondly remembered at the Hensall Fire Station, for his years of service to the community, for his love of the old firetruck and his work in bringing it back to Hensall and helping with its restoration.
He was always quick with a joke or funny remark to lighten the mood during difficult situations.

Dave Long,
