Nov. 22 - Jim Moore, Tom Doherty and Mark Barletta present Mary Critchett with an HFRA memorial plaque honoring the memory of her husband, Lt. Frank Critchett, who passed away October 10th at age 60. Frank was on the job from 1981 until his retirement several years ago.
"Loved his family, firefighting, and the Pittsburgh Steelers."

11/22 - Fire department war stories were flying Monday afternoon at Eli's Pizza, as Jim Moore, Tom Doherty, Dave Johnson and Mark Barletta met with Mary Critchett to make a presentation.  Mary's husband, retired Lieut. Frank Critchett, passed away October 10th in Derby Hospital after a long illness.

On behalf the members of the HFRA, Jim presented Mary with a memorial plaque honoring Frank with a personalized tribute to his love of family, firefighting and the Pittsburgh Steelers.
