I really don't know where to begin talking about Bill Carmack....I met Bill in 1991 while I was stationed at the Subase. I joined the Gales Ferry Fire Dept that same year and was taken under Bill's wing as a probie, over time we developed a great friendship, more then anything Bill became like a father to me while I was stationed in Groton. I spent many late nights on the fireground with Bill and many late nights at his house with his family and friends. Many calls come to mind but 2 really stand out in my mind....Dacatur Hill mountain fire in 1993 and a swan rescue at Dow...this was when R-25 was brand new, myself Rich Weiss and Bill went over to rescue a swan from one of the tanks. Bill was also my partner for EMT class. Like I said before there are many memories, I can't even begin to scratch the surface.....the biggest and best memory though has to be Bill and his wife introducing my wife of 13 years to me. What a great honor it has been to know such a great man....I Love him dearly and he will forever be in my heart!!!!!
