Tag Archives: Honorary Fire Chief

I received several updates yesterday / last night concerning Ian’s viewing. I’m told he is wearing his Fire Department uniform, that he’s holding his pager and his casket is painted fire engine red. I’ve also been made aware that the Brothers and Sisters from Lancaster City have sent an Honor Guard detail….. a very fitting send off for our friend. ...

His service will be HUGE and well publicized but not for the reasons you may think. What you'll see and read about in the next few days could easily be construed as what the "Fire Service" did for Ian.... that couldn't be farther from the truth. The "story" here is how deeply, and to what extent; a sick, teenage boy touch and impacted so many grown men and women. It was Ian who made a difference in our lives. It was Ian who set the example.
