| This morning, the officers and members of the Union Fire Company No. 1, along with family and friends, honored the life and legacy of Past Assistant Chief David R. Vining.
Assistant Chief Vining passed away on October 7th at the age of 84. He served the community as a volunteer firefighter for over 61 years, always helping with countless company functions such as bingo nights and the carnival. He also received multiple awards for his dedication to the company, including the president's award and the firefighter of the year award.
Today, his son, Past Chief Mark Vining, drove him on his final ride on Third Street in Engine 21-4 to his final resting place in the Oxford Cemetery.
Dave’s leadership and dedication to the firehouse will be carried on by many.
Please keep the Vining family in your thoughts during this time.
Thank you to the West Grove Fire Company and the Oxford Borough Police Department for assisting with today's services. |
