61st Emergency Service Providers Memorial Service is held in Irondequoit

Posted 17 hour(s) ago

A tradition that started in 1952 continued Sunday evening, May 19, as Irondequoit held its 61st Emergency Service Providers Memorial Service at St. Margaret Mary Church. The purpose of the service is to honor emergency service providers who died in the past year. This year, the West Webster Fire Department was included, as was a tribute to the two firefighters, Past Chief Michael Chiapperini and Tomasz Kaczowka, who lost their lives in the Dec. 24 tragedy in Webster. Others remembered included Past Chief Edward Kleehammer, firefighter Andy Mendola, and Past Chiefs and Commissioners Kenneth Netchke and George Schakow, all of Irondequoit's Laurelton Fire Department; Sgt. Gerard Bates of the Irondequoit Police Department; retired ALS tech Ruth Norton of Irondequoit Ambulance; Chiapperini, Kaczowka, and social member Werner Wetlaufer of West Webster; and firefighters Melvin Blakely and Walter Schaefer of the St. Paul Boulevard Fire Department. In his memorial address, the Rev. Paul English encouraged attendees to "pray, every time we here a siren, for first responders ... all willing to put it on the line for us."
