It is with deep regret that the Fame Fire Company announces the passing of Assistant Treasurer David P. Thomas. Dave joined the Fame in 1977, and worked his way through the ranks at Fame, while honing his skills as a firefighter. Dave worked on many committees and his expertise in financing helped the Fame tackle many capital projects throughout the years, and give the Fame a great vision for the future. Dave served as Vice President in the 1990's and then became President from 1995-1996. Dave moved out of the area for a few years but returned and became very active again becoming Lieutenant, and then Captain in 2006. Throughout his 47 years of service up to his passing, Dave also served as Treasurer, and Assistant Treasurer all while being an advisor to the administraton of the Fame.
Dave was very humble, and well liked at the Fame. He was never afraid to speak his mind, and enjoyed the comradery with the Famers. Dave loved to share stories, and listen to a few as well after drill nights, and meetings. He was a leader, and a mentor to all of us who will be missed dearly.
Thank you Boze! |
