may God bless these five young men and everyone else who is entering the public safety profession for the public has no idea how important you all are to their welfare. Please staysafe and remember most of all that you have entered the most noble of professions, make us all proud!

Which truck are you talking about? Port Chester is a little far but can probably make it in 10-15 minutes, Mahopac isnt far, Somers is 2 miles away. So I assume your talking about Port Chester?

Capt, as always bro, you are spot on. Its just easier for many folks to blame Unions.
1210671...THANK YOU!
Moderators, is there any way we could possibly split this thread? A man, a human being, has died during the course of his job. It was a terrible tragedy and just plain sucks.
Can we keep a thread as a condolence page possibly?
Guys and gals, you wanna talk semantics or knock the Unions as some of you insist on doing? Lets have some more class and keep it seperate, ok?
There are soooo many things i want to talk about, clear up and give my thoughts on. However, this is a public forum and i must be careful as this is my job.
I just love how everybody has become Sanitation experts and feel they know what should be done in every community. I do this for a LIVING, it is my CAREER and has been for over 9 years now.
I said it earlier, it is a dangerous job and if its one you havent done, you have no clue as to what its all about.
Firefighting is a dangerous job. Are some of you going to start blaming the Unions the next time a Fireman is injured or killed on the job? Should we tell Fireman that they are no longer allowed to enter a burning building because its unsafe? Of course not, that would be absurd.
Again, RIP to my fellow Teamster. Thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and the Peekskill community.

Why the dig at UNIONS, and what makes you think cars park any differently in Peekskill then they do in NYC? A hard working individual passed away as a result of an accident on his job, keep the thread going to offer condolences or suggestions and keep the insults to yourself.

As soon as I saw these two words, all written in caps, I stopped reading this post. I'm guessing this emphasis was placed as a negative connotation, and quite frankly to insert that onto what has become a Remembrance Thread of a Unionized Worker, is disgraceful.
Rest in Peace Brother Union Member.
