In Loving Memory
It is with sad and heavy hearts that we find a need for this page.
On Sunday, April 20, 2008, FF Chad Talbert, age 31, passed
away at his home. Chad leaves behind wife Whitney, son
Austin and daughter Cora. He was also the son of Battalion
Chief Larry Talbert.
Chad had served as a firefighter with us since
March 24, 2003. Chad was a great person, brother, firefighter
and more importantly, a friend. He will never be
forgotten by his brothers/sisters at the fire department.
Rest In Peace Brother!!
FIREFIGHTER POEMBrother when you weep for me Remember that it was meant to be Lay me down and when you leave Remember I'll be at your sleeve In every dark and choking hall I'll be there as you slowly crawl On every roof in driving snow I'll hold your coat and you will know In cellars hot with searing heat At windows where a gate you meet In closets where young children hide You know I'll be there at your side The House from which I now respond Is overstaffed with heroes gone Men who answered one last bell Did the job and did it well As firemen, we understand Author - Unknown |
