East Worcester Hose Company #1

To the one who placed the roses on Firefighter Schmiedel’s turnout gear, we thank you.

Rest In Peace. Brother

Rest now my fallen brother Lay soft your suffering back Rest well and forever Your memory shall not lack... Rest your tired hands Wipe clean your weary brow, Rest with St Florian Your spirit now endowed Rest here your breaking heart We know you have your all Rest easy, you’ve done your part You’ve answered your last call Rest knowing that in God we sought Oh lord, watch over another that just fell Rest assured your troubled thought As we ring the final bell Author unknown Rest easy our friend, We’ll take it from here

Rest In Peace Larry. You will be missed.

It is with with heavy hearts that the members of the East Worcester Hose Company #1 announce the untimely passing of Life Member Lawrence Schmiedel. Larry was the foundation for our Fire Police serving as Captain for many years. Larry also served as a mentor for our Junior Firefighter program, spending countless hours helping the youth of our fire department learn the importance of firefighter safety. Larry was always one of the first people to step up and help at all fund raising events. His commitment to the fire service will be greatly missed. Rest In Peace brother, we will take it from here.
