My granddad was L.H. Sandridge, and was instrumental in me becoming a Vol. FF/EMT, I remember attending a number of events and helping get ready for the lawn party the few summers that I stayed with my grandparents I even went on a few calls with granddad when we were there visting. I have not been back since granddad passed away, but hope to be out there the in the next couple years to visit with my aunt Jackie Life, and if possible would like to stop in and look at all the changes that I am sure have taken place since my last visit. I enjoy going to your website everyonce in awhile to see what is happening and to look at some of your history pictures and see some family memories stored in your photos. Keep up the good work of protecting your community.

Nice website for good publicity, but would be even better if you included information on burn ban and burn permits. Possibly safety on backyard burning, although I can see where that might encourage the practice.
Thanks to all of you professionals and volunteers.

I'd like to personally thank everyone of you! Your crew literally saved my life back in 2004 and now you helped my boyfriend in the crash on 33 on Nov 30th. THANK YOU for everything you do in our community! My love, prayers and gratitude are with you everyday.
I was down on thanksgiving weekend of 2008, I stopped in and was amazed on your fire house.I got a appl.and hoping to move down to that area in spring of 2009..hope to get invovled with your company..
I would like to send my dearest condolences out to each member and to the family of the young FF that was lost. I have seen too much over the 21 years I have been doing this, most recently the 9 FF that were lost here last year.
I too have had the unfortunate happening of loosing a close friend and fellow FF in 1992, that pershished all most the same way on a Vol. F.D. in Florida. My prayers go out to all!!!

On behalf of the officers and members of the Aston-Beechwood Vol. Fire Company, I would like to express our deepest condolences and our most heart felt sympathies in your time of loss. It was not long ago when we were tragically struck by the loss of our Chief. I pray that the members of your company can find comfort knowing that your brothers and sisters in Delaware County (PA) are grieving with you.
Our hearts go out to you and our prayers are with Roy's family and the entire McGaheysville Volunteer Fire Company. We, too, lost our eighteen year old son three years ago and no one can ever really know the pain and sorrow felt by family and loved ones. And the sense of loss felt by Roy's fellow firefighters is just as strong, but know that faith and the recollection of all the good memories will help you through this time of intense grief. If there is anything we can do, or if you just need someone to talk with, please contact us through the Leesburg Volunteer Fire Company.

I saw a link on the internet to your Myspace page and it said your dream was to become a fireman for the FDNY. Your in heaven now with 343 of them and ones that past before and after them. You'll be in good company with them, because God only takes the best. Save us a spot on the rig brother and keep us all safe down here until then. My prayers also go out to the family and friends of Roy during these tough times.
Our thoughts and prayers are with you all. May our fallen brother never be forgotten, and may he watch over us all until we join him in heaven.

I was very close to Roy I thought of him as my own family I cared for him with all the heart I had left, since this happened another piece of my heart has been ripped away. I will cry because I miss him but I’ll remember him for the things we did together and the fun times we had. Roy was a very special person and I’m going to miss him a lot. Knowing I never got the chance to say goodbye is just heart breaking and I speak for a lot of people not just myself. I remember the first time we met I was in second grade and he was so afraid to show me his burns until one day he told me that he wasn’t afraid to show people anymore and then he finally showed me. I wanted to write this comment to share how much I cared about little Roy and I still do. And I wanted to send a special thanks to everyone who has helped out and has been thinking of the family. Thank you friends, family, teachers and especially all the Firefighters around the world I want to follow in your footsteps and be a HERO just like my good friend little Roy. Remember the brother of all the firefighters and know that he is in a better place and that he will never be forgotten. Love, Chianne May

To the family of company 80, Roy Boy truely loved everyone of you, I heard stories almost everyday of all of you. Roy was a dedicated, loving, strong willed, and honorable young man. There are so many unanswered questions, but there is only one truth and that is his true desire, dedication and love to save others. I know you all are hurting as much as any of us are, and I truly see the love and dedication in all of you through him. Thank you for doing all you have for him, and crystal, and the family. There aren't even words that can exspress the dedication and apprecation you continue to show. I am thankful I have gotten to know all of you, and more thankful that he was part of something that completed his life, and gave him an additional family. Thank you for continuing to take care of all of us in the community and may god bless all of you and keep you safe !
