Rest in Peace. I'm sure the community he served and died while serving, and of course his family, are all in shock and mourning. Hopefully he gets a big turnout at his funeral; all the Long Island Depts. add up to quite a number of members who should make the effort to pay their respects and give him a large send-off; to say thank you and show support to his family. It is very comforting for the family to see a "Sea of Blue" at the funeral.

~God Rest.
