Brothers and Sisters to clarify, The funeral home occupancy is restricted to 18 people, for visitation and service.

Brothers and Sisters,
Sadly, we were notified by Hugh Doherty yesterday that one of our Local’s 3888 active members had passed.
Firefighter Lech Kaldunski, badge #3987 from Keswick, born Dec 19th, 1981, was hired on January 5, 2015. After graduating from the academy, Lech went to Stn 133, then transferred out to Stn 435, then to Stn 241A.
We have contacted brother Lech’s family and have started the process of planning for his ceremony. The family has let us know that our brother will be resting at Turner and Porter’s Butler Chapel later this week.
We will update the membership once the details have been finalized.
Our heartfelt condolences go out to FF brother Lech’s family, friends, and co-workers.
