Sadly, Firefighter/EVO2 Lee Littlefield, Jr passed away on Thursday. Lee served for 35 years and is an Honorary Member. Following his active service he remained involved as a member of the Relief Association. His baby was the '53. Visiting hours will be on Thursday, July 19th from 1800-2100 at Autumn Green in Alfred. I am still waiting on confirmation of a Firefighter walk-through and a time to conduct that. We will post on honor guard during visiting hours. Funeral Services will be at the Methodist Church on Friday, July 20 at 1000. Internment will be a the Chadbourne Cemetery. Lee's remains will ride on the '53 from the church to the cemetery. We will conduct a "Last Alarm" ceremony at the cemetery. Following the graveside service a reception will be held here at the fire station. I will be posting a TOG soon. I will be asking for volunteers to organization certain events. Norm Bilodeau is the family liaison and Ed Bove will be officiating the funeral.
