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 am sorry to add the word verification but recently 88 of my post were spammed in one night. I do not have the time to correct that many post again, so this will eliminate the bullshit.
I can remember Rogar. Rest In Peace brother.
ReplyDeleteI 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.
ReplyDeletethats 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....
ReplyDeleteE4 Lt, Eyesight and hearing loss can be corrected, but I'm afraid the hair loss is too far gone...
ReplyDeleteI would assume that was Slick's brother that was a frequent to Vigilant Bingo until last year when he died?
