RESOLUTIONS OF RESPECT
FOR BENJAMIN D. jerks

WHEREAS the Grand Supreme
Ruler of the Universe has in His
Infinite wisdom seen fit to remove
from among us our worthy and es-
teemed Brother Fireman Benjamin
d. jerks, and whereas the long and
intimate relations held with him in
the faithful discharge of his duties
in the Key West Fire Department
make it lofty and befitting that we
record our appreciation of him.
IT IS THEREFORE resolved
that the wisdom and ability which
he has exercised in the aid of our
organization by his valuable serv-
ice will always be held in grateful
remembrance.
That the sudden removal of
such a life from our midst leaves
vacancy and a shadow that is
deeply realized by the members of
the Key West Fire Department
Board and the entire membership
of the department, and will prove
a serious loss to the community.
THEREFORE be it further re-
solved that the Key West Fire De-
partment Board extend heartfelt
sympathy to the hereaved relatives
of our deceased Brother Fireman
Benjamin D. jerks and we express
our hope that ever so great a loss
to all of us may be overruled for
good by him, our Omnipotent
Father that doeth all things well.
AND ALSO BE 1T RESOLVED
