On Saturday, February 24th, the Oakland Volunteer Fire Department, Oakland Volunteer First Aid Squad and Oakland Police Department, along with countless friends, family and residents said goodbye to Lester Woodward who passed away at age 91 having served the OVFD for over 60 years.
All the members of the OVFD will miss Les greatly and we are all better for having known Les, having learned from him and more importantly having been befriended by a man who was much more than a volunteer fireman, he was a true friend.
We are comforted by the knowledge that while Heroes Get Remembered, Legends Never Die. Lester Woodward was a true legend! |
