Passing of Irvington FD Chaplain Fr. Byrne

[CFI609D 119]

The Irvington FD and the fire service lost a great friend this week: Msgr. Raymond Byrne. In addition to serving as pastor of Immaculate Conception in Irvington, Msgr. Byrne was also the IFD's Chaplain for many years. Msgr. Byrne and his family have enjoyed a long and close relationship with the fire service. His brother Fr. Ed Byrne currently serves as Chaplain to the Ossining FD, and his nephew is Bobby Halton, retired Albuquerque FD Chief and current Editor in Chief of Fire Engineering.

Msgr. Byrne will be missed by all those who had the good fortune to know him.
