PHOTOS FROM TODAY'S CROTON FIRE DEPT. FAREWELL TRIBUTE TO CHARLIE O'CONNOR

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

As many of you know, today was the funeral service for Croton Fire Department Life Member Charlie O'Connor. "Charlie O" had been a part of Croton Fire Patrol No. 1 for over 20 years and was a Top Responder in that Company for most of that time. 

The funeral procession drove past the Harmon Firehouse today, where fire trucks and firefighters were lined up to bid farewell. Click on the photos below, all rights reserved:

      A resident reports that they believe they saw Mr. Wiegman at the mass but no others.

    This guy was one of the great Croton paramedics that saved me at 6 am on a Monday morning when I had my Vespa accident 4 years ago. RIP Charlie. And again, thank you for being there for me.

      We knew the family and they supported his EMS mission of mercy. He'll be missed!
