This may be what it could look like over New York City, later today

Gotta say, I love that photo.

In all seriousness, I was sent this photo from a family member with the caption of " another one rollin' in.." taken on the Hudson.

Went to many a jobs in that rig,lots of good memories from back then. Easy to set up in a hurry, no bells or whistles to stop you from doing what you were doing. In picture #3 on ebay is the Mack Dog. You guys need to get before it is sold and put it on the fire place mantle.

Not too bad, getting a mention in the Washington Post newspaper... My business is The Supply Captain.

Very cool!

Rest In Peace
While I never got to know him in person, after years of interacting with him here I feel like I really got to know him. I will certain long for his well informed, reasoned and educated posts in the months and years that come. He gave a dose of sanity to at times what is certainly an insame board.

Nice video tribute.

This is quite shocking, the whole situation. I'm asking myself "is this really happening?" It's surreal. ny10570 who we now know his name is Lenny Joyner, see his photo on the Denver news story, has been a regular productive member of this board for years. We know his political leanings, his compassion for others, his decency....yet most of us didn't know him personally.
I wish I had.
To those members here who had the honor of knowing him, condolences to you all. We all share in your grief.
For all of us here who care, who feel, please take care of yourselves now. Don't be tempted to grab the beers or anything else to drown the pain away.
Talk about it. Write about it. Share your feelings with those of us here who care for you and want you to be okay. That's what this site is about. A Fraternity of sorts. Times like these are the most testing for everybody. Talk about it at the firehouse, the precinct, the ambulance quarters.
Lenny got called home to God way too early, yet he obviously died doing what he wanted to be doing. Living his life the way he wanted it to be. Quite an adventurist it seems. I imagine he was quite ecstatic to reach that peak, to see that view, to be closer to his God.
Our board has another hero now. And his name is Lenny Joyner. God Rest In Peace.
Edit: Last name proper spelling.

Rest in Peace Lenny, you will be missed but not forgotten.
Lenny's last login was July 18, at 7:10pm and made a post in the Questioning for infectious diseases as part of medical history thread.

WOW!!! I just want to say THANKS!!! to those who have stepped up to help with this drive!
We still have a ways to go to reach our goal, but you guys have really given this a great start!
Please keep up the great show of support! Every little bit helps take some of the pressure off!

Virtually every law enforcement involved motor vehicle accident is thoroughly investigated (certainly one resulting in personal injury will be) so I'm not sure what the big deal is with the article.
Really nothing more than a poorly written IA if you ask me.
Glad the trooper is OK!

holy cow.....I rode this rig for a long time...(till it came off the line and became a spare) Open back jumpseat..Had a green tarp for a while, but that went missing.,..
Remember riding the Charlie side in a heavy snow storm and looking over to the Bravo side and we both looked at each other and laughed like hell...we had about 6" of snow on our helmets..
Hey Redtruck75.....I know you loved this rig..."The Convertabile" remember? Good times....good times...

Rest easy brother.
I enjoyed bantering on here with you.

Honorary Brighton Colorado Police Officer Jose Rubio-Pavon passed away Friday after a courageous battle with brain cancer, he was 12 years old.
Jose had always wanted to be a police officer so in May, Officers from the Brighton PD swore him in during a ceremony in his hospice room and gave him a uniform shirt, shield and a certificate.
This is a sad story but I'm sure these officers made the last few months of this boy's life a little better.
The Brighton PD and FD led the funeral procession.
Rest In Peace Officer Rubio-Pavon

I know that I never met you Lenny, but from what everyone has said about you seemed like a truly great guy. I'm sure that the FDNY EMS Station 7 world will not be the same with out you. I know just like everyone else here, that you are going to be missed by not only the people that knew you, but also the people that you have inspired and saved over the years. We all know that you are not with us anymore, but you will forever be in our hearts. May god be with you always, and may you rest in eternal life. John 3:16 " For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life". Rest In Peace fallen brother 5-5-5-5 has be rang out for you. To all your friend's and family my sincere condolences. Corinthians 5:1 "For we know that if the earthly tent which is our house is torn down, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens".

Had an idea Brothers and Sisters. How about we revisit Lenny's last post and rep it as high as we can. I'm out of rep points for the day but I promise you tomorrow I'll be on it.......

Why does it matter aside from maybe helping figure out what is wrong with the patient? Forget about how its just wrong to treat someone differently based upon a medical condition, what if they don't know they're carrying some disease. Everyone gets treated the same unless I suspect an infection requiring droplet precautions.
Moderator note: This was the very last post made by Lenny, before he left us for keeps. RIP.
