A very poignant moment last Thursday morning, April 19th, as dozens of Hamden firefighters gathered at Hamden Plains Cemetery for the interment service for Susan Recca, wife of Hamden firefighter Kevin Recca. Hamden Fire Department chaplain, Rev. Owen Sanderson, officiated.
Sue Recca, who was a paramedic with AMR, passed away on April 14th after being stricken on March 19th. The thoughts and prayers of all Hamden's fire retirees are with Kevin and his family. (Photo by David Beaton)
