RECD THIS ALSO ....QUOTE.... Passed on from a FF friend. Chief Willet was Div Commmander of the 7th. Everyone spoke well of him.
George A. Willett Obituary (tributearchive.com)

He was a BC in the 12th for many, many years and truly one of the greatest fire officers (chiefs) that ever put on the white helmet. Later was promoted to DC and served in the 7th Div. For many years and his aide Gerry Zink (26Truck) went with him to the 7th and Gerry was working OT in 37T when he injured his leg with the running board of the truck and was retired. Great pair! May they Rest In Peace.
Later saw the AC in mid-town before he retired and was still the same, “no sweat’ easy going officer he always was......UNQUOTE,
