My thoughts and prayers to the family. Warren was truly dedicated to the Fires Service and was one of the origional three people to help create the Vigiles Societas in the FFCA. I will always remember him with found memories as a friend.

Rest easy, "Trouble'. All of the former Southport, FL Volunteers extend their sincerest condolences to the family. I am sure we each learned something different from you that made us better people <3

Dear Susan and Sherrie. My heartfelt condolences to both of you. Pat was a wonderful man and I remember so many good times we all had at Thomas Drive VFD PCB FL. Pat worked so hard for our team here at TDVFD and Pat made this department what it has become. Love to you both, Bob
