LAST Call ......

On Sunday January 27, Dave Taylor a long time employee of the West Valley City Fire Department answered the "last call". He passed away at home with his family close by. Dave will be remembered for his quiet strength. He was never a man to put himself in the spot light, but did so many things behind the scenes. Dave was alway honest and straight forward. Dave was a hard worker and one that was not easily provoked. Dave was able to show compassion to those that he served. You will be hard pressed to find an image of Dave with out his trade mark ball cap. Dave's funeral will be held this coming Thursday.

We all take for granted that we will be around for another day, or that we will see each other next round. That we'll be able to catch up on things at the next reunion or meeting. I hope that each of us will remember how precious our time together is. Even those times we may get on each others nerves. Each one of us will have to answer the bell of the "last call". May we remember Dave's example and answer that call with dignity.

Our thoughts are with Dave's family. May they have comfort in this time.

Be Smart... Be Safe... BE READY
FIRE MARSHAL BOB
