Hello all, I have what some may think an unusual request. My grandfather is 92 years old and in failing health. He is a resident of the Shook Home at this time . His name is Clyde A. Shaffer.He was a member of the Goodwills years ago and possibly other depts. I do not know his entire fire fighting history but will get more details if needed. He was very active in the drill and marching units years ago as well . I believe that he does have a life or lifetime membership to one of the Companies that was probably merged over the years into one of the present day Companies. I know that he did serve at one time in what is now the McKinely St. Station. Some of the "older" or retired members may remember him. He served along with I believe four of his brothers . I do not know all of thier name but one was George Shaffer who was a driver. Some of you may remember him from one of the numerous calls to his former residence in the 500 block of Broad St. . He would always be sure to tell the responders that he was a GOODWILL member and then ask if anyone knew his brothers ....and some of you did. He has a grandson who is a member of the Royal Oak Fire Dept. in the Detroit, MI. area. My request would be that any of you that know or remember my grandfather Clyde A. Shaffer please attend the viewing or service when the time comes and he passes on.
