Passing of Life Member Robert J Goldhorn

It is with profound sorrow I announce the passing of Life Member and Past Ladder Captain Robert J Goldhorn. Joining the fire department when he was 16; He had served as Ladder Captain, and in recent years was of member of Fire Police. “Robert (Bobby) was one of those guys who would take you under his wing and teach you things you would never learn in a book”.
His humor and his knowledge of the fire service and the town will be missed by his fire house family.

Friend
A fireman knocked at the heavenly gate
His face was scarred and old
He stood before the man of fate
For admission to the fold
“What have you done,” saint peter said,
“To gain admission here?”
“I’ve been a firefighter, sir,” he said,
“For many, many a year.”
The pearly gates swung open wide,
As saint peter touched the bell –
“Come in and choose your harp, my son,
“You’ve seen your share of hell.”

Rest in Peace Robert J Goldhorn
