The Town of Hanover is mourning the loss of its deputy fire chief.
Craig MacArthur died with family at his side last Thursday. He was 58-years-old.
MacArthur served for 35 years as a volunteer member of Hanover’s Fire Department.
The town says during his tenure, MacArthur served several roles, including firefighter, pump operator, captain, and platoon chief, and was deputy fire chief for the past seven years.
Mayor Sue Paterson says the Hanover native was respected for his fire knowledge and experience both locally and regionally.
“His passion and commitment for fire service has positively benefited out department and community,” says Paterson.
The town adds MacArthur’s positive personality was evident to those he interacted with at the firehall and in the community.
A cremation has taken place and a come-and-go celebration of life will be held on Oct. 12 at the Hanover Legion from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m., where instead of flowers, donations will be accepted for the Hanover Fire Department.
