IN MEMORY OF
Ezra “George” Kinch

George’s remarkable 71 years of dedicated service to the Monticello Fire Department—and his valued service as a member of the Sullivan County Dive Team, reflect a lifetime of commitment to his community and the fire service.

George’s friendship, stories, and many years of service will never be forgotten. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Kinch family and the members of the Monticello Fire Department during this difficult time.

Rest easy, George.
We’ll take it from here.
