Michael F. Cherubini

Lieutenant

While riding as a passenger in a brush truck at a parade in a nearby town, Lieutenant Cherubini became ill.  His wife, who is also a member of the department and was the driver of the brush truck, immediately drove home.  He was helped inside of his house by his wife and collapsed soon after.  The nature and cause of the medical emergency has yet to be determined.
