A close friend of my from Wpg Ems just informed me of his passing . Very sad , he was a great mentor , instructor , and role model on how to be a professional at all times in the emergency services field . I’ve never known anyone else that could tell you the colour of a house or whether it had a fence in front of it when going or dispatching a call . Photographic memory at the finest , he will be missed by many , Godspeed - Posted by: Gerry Desjardins (Immediate supervisor when I worked at Wpg Ems ) on: Aug 01, 2019
