Our Thoughts and prayers are with their Families.

 

Robert Glascoe passed away Friday night at his home.  ” Bobby ” was an integral part of operations at Silver Hill

for several years. Bobby helped as an Ambulance and Engine driver. Approximately 9 years ago, Bobby came back

when we started a staffing program. Bobby was a funny person who everyone liked to ride and associate with.

to talk with the members, even when his health was not so good. Bobby will be missed by many people …

or Alternate Delegate to the County and State Conventions.

at bingo and other duties associated with that position.
He was also a Fireman’s Fireman. He has been on many of the large fires and emergency incidents in Silver Hill’s first due area, not to mention
