The Professional Fire Fighters of Wisconsin, Inc. is currently holding the 74th Annual Convention in Eau Claire, WI at the Plaza Hotel & Suites. Featured speakers are Senator Pat Kreitlow, IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger, ALF-CIO Presiednt Dave Newby, and Governor Jim Doyle. We welcome all attending members and guests.
It is with sadness that I inform you Brother Adam Van Rite of De Pere Fire, Local 1998, passed away this morning after a long and courageous battle with cancer.
Although this is a LODD, it was Adam’s wishes that this not be handled like a typical large LODD ceremony, however he wanted everyone to know. Honor Guard and other arrangements are being handled by Green Bay Local 141, De Pere Local 1998, & Town of Lawrence Fire Department.
Their wishes are to have President Woodzicka present the PFFW LODD Medallion at the funeral rather than at the PFFW Convention.There will be a procession of fire vehicles only (no walkers) from the funeral home to the church. Please be aware that there is little to no parking for apparatus and numerous apparatus showing up will present significant parking issues.
Please see the obituary for more information (click here) and to send condolences, cards, and well wishes to the Van Rite Family.Adam will also be remembered and honored on our website in the LODD section.
