Today my Mom and I attended the funeral for Master Technician Paul Bennett (Grand Monty), Fairfax County Fire Department (retired).

I had known Paul since Wes first started fire buffing when we were both teenagers. There are people you meet in your life that leave a lasting impression. He was one of those people. That resonated through every memory spoken about him today. My fondest memories of him are from his time at 408 where he worked with Mark Pullman, Curt Alvis, and Tom Williams. He was a good friend to Wes too. Even when Wes wasn't feeling his best he would go visit Paul.

It is obvious that he will be missed by family and friends. May he RIP. 💙🚒
