Sayville Fire Department Blood Drive Keeps Member’s Memory Alive

 

Sayville Fire Department will be hosting a blood drive on Thursday, September 11th from 3:30-9:00 p.m. in memory of Honorary Captain Wilbur Ritter, who perished in the line of duty after responding to an alarm on Main Street on August 28, 2006. He was the Chairman of Sayville’s Blood Drive for about 20 years. Wilbur himself donated 16 gallons of blood during his lifetime. He was so passionate about blood donation that as the ambulance doors were closing, his last words to his fellow firefighters were “make sure you get the blood drive signs up.”
