It is with great sadness that I share with you the details of the local memorial gathering for my friend and fellow ex-Captain of the Poningoe Hook and Ladder Co. (City of Rye), Richard F. Cadigan, Jr. Rich tragically lost his life on January 31, 2019, one day before his 62nd birthday. A native of Maryland, Rich joined the Rye FD after moving to the City with his wife. They would go on to raise their son in Rye and over his 17+ years in the Ladder Company Rich held offices including Secretary, Lieutenant, Captain and Warden. He will be remembered for his smile, his handshake and his dedication to his family and the fire service. Family and friends will gather in Richard’s memory on Saturday February 23rd from 12-2pm at COXE & GRAZIANO FUNERAL HOME 767 E. Boston Post Rd Mamaroneck, 914-698-5968. Memorial donations can be sent to Autism Speaks.

So, when an elected official makes an appointment we're just supposed to sit and accept it? Zero times Zero = Zero

None.

BREAKING NEWS Mayor Pavia just appointed Bobby Valentine as Director of Public Safety for the City of Stamford Edit: Ooops. Posted before Geppeto's post appeared.

Don't take this personally, but here is a more accurate picture of what would happen if the so-called "plan" was implemented: Of course there lies the SLIM possibility that when IF the mayor finally EVER tries to implement his new plan for "better" fire service, they will releaseTHROW OUT the test results. Because they will need to hire 51 additional firefighters to work for the new "volunteer" department FROM SOME OTHER NON-CIVIL SERVICE LIST.

Guys, think about it this way- we don't want a Certified List being established before there is any possibility of them hiring. For example: If they certify the list tomorrow, and aren't ready to hire until late 2012, then that means that many people will have to take the test again 2 years earlier than "necessary". I, for one, don't WANT them to certify the list until there is a damn good chance of anyone actually getting hired from said list.

Sincerest condolences to the families, friends and the BFD May they truly rest in peace

Well said. My condolences to you and yours, PJ.

Sincerest condolences to Capt. Kerr and all of Bruce's family and to the members of Local 2029, on behalf of Rye's volunteers... Bruce was a wealth of knowledge and I personally had the honor of learning from him both on scene and at the training center over the past several years. R.I.P.

Please sign and this will be passed along to to the family, Rye FD, and his company at FDNY... On behalf of the Chief of the Rye Fire Department, it is my sad duty to report to our neighboring departments and to the greater firefighting community the death of one of our own.
