It is with a heavy heart that the Springfield Fire Company announces the passing of life time member Richard "Richie" Gildea.

Richie joined the Fire Company on April 24, 1957 and held numerous Company positions, including Captain of the Fire Police Unit.

Richie became a Life Member in 1980. He received the 50 year "Blue Flame" Award in 2007. Most recently he was added as an exemplary volunteer to the Volunteer Memorial Wall at the corner of Saxer Ave and Powell Rd on July 4th, 2005

In his honor our flag will be flown at half-staff until the day of his funeral.

Richie's funeral details will be posted, when they become known.

The Springfield Fire Company wishes to express their condolences to the Gildea family. ... See MoreSee Less
