FIREFIGHTER JOHN SIZEMORE ANSWERS HIS FINAL ALARM

It is with the deepest sympathy that the Gibbstown Volunteer Fire Company announces the loss of one of the most dedicated members in the history of our organization. John Sizemore, who joined the company in November of 1954, passed peacefully yesterday. His tenure in the company included holding the rank of Lieutenant and Captain throughout the 1960’s , and also becoming a trustee from 2002-2011.

As we extend our thoughts to the Sizemore family, we also thank them for sharing him with us throughout the years. It will never be known how many lives were saved due to his dedication over his 66 years wearing the patch of the Gibbstown Volunteer Fire Company, but we are sure several people are still alive today due to John.
