Remembering Chief Michael Romig

 
By Assistant Fire Chief Jason Brooks

Today members reflect upon the passing of Fire Chief Michael Romig 7 years ago. Mike had been a member of the Elverson Fire Company since 1964 and had held many positions within the company. To honor Mike and his lifetime dedication to the fire service, Elverson voted to make him their last official Fire Chief after the merger with Morgantown, and dedicated Engine 69-5 in his name. Mike was the first elected Chief of the Twin Valley Fire Department and his legacy lives on within the firehouse though both his sons Corey and Darryl Lee, and every 69 member. Until we meet again Chief, we miss you......


"THE BROKEN CHAIN"

We little knew that morning that God was going to call your name,

In life we loved you dearly, in death we do the same.

It broke our hearts to lose you, you did not go alone,

For part of us went with you, the day God called you home.

You left us peaceful memories, your love is still our guide,

And though we cannot see you, you are always at our side.

Our family chain is broken, and nothing seems the same,

But as God calls us one by one, the chain will link again.
