The Toms River Fire Training Center Administration and Instructors extend our deepest condolences to the East Dover Fire Company Station 28, on the passing of Life Member and Retired Fire Commissioner George Convery Sr.

Commissioner Convery was a dedicated public servant who always took great care of both Toms River Fire Districts, the fire training center and was a steadfast advocate for the fire service and the communities we proudly serve.

Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends, and the members of East Dover during this difficult time.

Rest in Peace, Commissioner Convery.
