Happy and sad all at the same time, as we say good bye to Sharon Greer on her last day working for King County Fire District 20. She’s served the department for the last 18 years in Department Administration, however that title doesn’t accurately describe her position. Sharon is more like a mother to the firefighters and the Chief’s right-hand Lady. She’s also the polite voice on the other end of the phone when you call the department with a question, for which she always has the answer. Her kind smile and a happy attitude are a constant and bring joy to the office. Sharon who is also a resident of the Skyway area spends a lot of her free time helping out in the community. Today we had a drive-through retirement celebration where cars lined up for blocks to congratulate Sharon on her retirement and wish her well. It seemed like the entire community came out to wave, honk, and congratulate her.
Thank you Sharon for all that you have done for the department and our community. We already miss you!
On this Veteran’s Day we honor all of those who have served protecting our country and our freedoms.
We also take time to honor one of our own who has served not only his community but his country. Lt. Tom Kolar, is both a United States Marine and a US Navy Corpsman. He has been deployed to combat missions in Afghanistan and Iraq. His life as both a firefighter and a soldier has been dedicated to serving others. For those lucky enough to work with Lt. Kolar, they know, the combination of grit, caring, get it doneness, humor, compassion, and overall toughness is remarkably special. His training, military experience, and skills has made Lt. Kolar a great leader setting the example for all of us.
Thank you, Lt. Kolar. We are proud of you and your service.
