"KIDEO" I met Kideo several years ago working with him on the MFD . I was stationed with him at the 32's for a couple of years b4 I retired. He really did have a gentle soul even if he tried at times to act like he didn't. He was always good by me through the whole time I knew him and worked with him. Sometimes he lived life on his terms regardless of the consequences. In a strange way I had to admire him for that. We shared countless laughs and we talked deeply about life at times. RIP Kideo 🙏 Koz
Townsend worked with me many times on the fire department. He was always good to be around and kept a positive attitude at work. Smoking cigars and always telling me don't worry eat the extra piece of cake!.
Our staff will continue to keep your family in our prayers. We thank you for allowing us to serve your family.
