Mon 25

Our pagers lay beside our bed, With the button on alert. As we lay down to go to sleep, We pray no one gets hurt. As we lay in blissful sleep, Our own shrill tones we hear, We quietly crawl from our warm beds, And glance at loved ones so near. We scamper in the dark to find, Our shirt, our socks, our shoes. And nervously await to hear, From dispatch, that dreaded news. So many things go through our minds Our families don’t understand. That need and that desire, To lend a helping hand. Sometimes it’s us that suffer though, When things get out of control. Our lives, our loves, our families, Are the ones that pay the toll. I know at times it seems unfair, To not go on that call. But, look around at what you have, Or someday lose it all. RLH

It is with extreme sadness that the Hanover Township Volunteer Fire Company announces the passing of past Fire Chief, President, Fire Marshall and Life Member Robert "Big Bob" Vanwhy Jr. Big Bob was a vital part of getting our organization to the place we are today. He was a role model for many members over his years with the company. He was the first of the Vanwhy family to start in our organization. He started many generations of service from the Vanwhy family, with 3 currently serving as Fire Officers. Big Bob will be missed but will never be forgotten and his legacy with the organization and his family will live on forever.

Funeral and Viewing arrangements will be posted at a later time. Our thoughts and prayers are with the Vanwhy Family during this time. ... See MoreSee Less

Good man Bob and I served together since 1969 fought a lot of fires I'll miss him

Rest in peace Big Bob. A great friend and mentor. He kept me in line. He wasn’t afraid to smack you on the back of the head if your ego was getting the best of you and I always remember that to this day. Thank you Bob for guiding me on the path to becoming a career FF.
