Form Up and Rolling Salute

We will be forming up and honoring our brother, with a rolling salute. Members will be asked to form up and come to attention when the command is given.

The rolling salute begins at the colors (Canadian Flag salute comes up) and is completed, at the rear step of the caisson, (salute comes down), then bowing your head as the family passes. Continue to stand until you’re dismissed. The goal is to make it look like a wave.

*****
It is with deepest regret and sorrow that we report the passing of Firefighter Jefferey Hamill. Brother Hamill, 67, passed away on August 3rd, 2023, after succumbing to occupational cancer.

Firefighter Jefferey Hamill started with the Etobicoke Fire Department on October 20th, 1980, and retired in 2011 after 31 years. Records show that Brother Hamill spent his entire career on "B" Platoon. Started at Hall 10, now 413, then Hall 9, now 435, but spent most of his career at Hall 6, now 431 on P431 where he retired from.

We anticipate this will transition into a line-of-duty-death ceremony once WSIB approves.

We will update the membership as information becomes available.

A visitation and Celebration of Life has been set for Monday, 2023 August 28th, 2023 at St. John’s Dixie Cemetery and Crematorium, 737 Dundas St. E. Mississauga ON L4Y 2B5. 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Brother Hamill is resting at Tranquility Funeral Services, and at the time of this notice there was no obituary posted on their website, but may be found here at a later date.

Our condolences to Brother Hamill’s family, friends, and co-workers.

Rest in Peace Brother!
