Jerry Fishman’s Firetruck Was Donated to The South Hempstead Volunteer Fire Department
In August 2024, Jerry Fishman died. He was a Bay Ridginal and a wonderful man, who many of us miss.
On Saturday, Jerry’s wife, Diane donated Jerry’s custom mini firetruck to the South Hempstead Volunteer Fire Department. They name it “LiL JEDI,” which is a combination of Jerry and Diane’s names.
They were excited and they planned to get it restored and running for their 2026 Memorial Day Parade. Many people will admire it for for years to come!
Friends of Jerry’s were there taking pictures until the firetruck was loaded onto a flatbed and on the way to its new home. Dino D. took these photos.
Beautiful story….which honors the life of a beautiful person. We were lucky to have known Jerry.
Whenever I think of Jerry, I think of this sweet story:
