One Vehicle Accident Kills Vigilant Fireman
On September 22, 1987 at 7:00 a.m., a rescue local was sent to Rt. 533 just north of Rt. 11. A dump truck skidded on the wet road, struck a tree and overturned killing the driver. The driver of the truck was long time Vigilant Hose member Roger D. Slieghter. Rest in peace “Slick” we still miss you. The Vigilant Hose and West End Fire and Rescue companies responded.

I can remember Rogar. Rest In Peace brother.
I can still see Slick sitting in the TV room (when it was where the gear cave is) every morning as I left for work. Slick was definately one of a kind.
thats why I stop here, senioritis is setting in and some things get pushed out of the memory banks.... thanks for reminding me, now if u can help with the hearing, eyesight and hair loss....
E4 Lt, Eyesight and hearing loss can be corrected, but I'm afraid the hair loss is too far gone...
I would assume that was Slick's brother that was a frequent to Vigilant Bingo until last year when he died?

Slick used to scare the hell out of me when he came around.. Always told me he wanted to bite my fingers off to match his..lol I think i would have been about 9 when he died, but i remember mom telling me like it was yesterday.. Slick was definatly one of a kind..
