Not sure what to say?

Chief Rivers was a true leader and respected by all.

Sending prayers and love
Your father married my husband and I 35 years ago and have pictures of him somewhere marrying us. He was a great man and dear to my parents as well. He will be missed.

Laura, Glenn and family, Kathy and I are saddened by your father’s passing. He was the one who provided me the path to my public safety career. My days at Pine Castle are still some of my fondest professional memories.

Thank you for sharing him with us.

With deep sadness of loss and remembrance . Chief Rivers was my first fire chief. I will never forget that smile and the Welcome aboard words you spoke to me. Thanks for your Service and Friendship. Rest in Peace to you and Paula.

Gene was a positive, nurturing leader with a great sense of humor. The day he started at PCFD I was on a remote muck fire late at night when he opened the cab door, shoved in refreshments and introduced himself. He was dedicated.

Absolute Sadness...
Truly The Best Chief.
Pinecastle FD was proud.
And Paula was also a jem.

Thank you for all you did for us and the community Chief. RIP.

RIP Sir
