On the day he was to be honoured for 25 years as a volunteer fire fighter, Cantelon suffered a heart attack while driving Pumper 3. Although fire fighters administered CPR, Cantelon, 58, was pronounced dead at Clinton hospital.
“It’s an honour to be here tonight and Doug certainly would have been honoured. I thank all the fire fighters for all the support that they’ve given us over the last few years,” said his wife, Irene Cantelon, who was joined by family in the ceremony held at the fire hall last night.
Jim Ginn, who is mayor of the Municipality of Central Huron, also have thanks to fund organizers.
“I know politicians who don’t have time to do all the things they should do really respect people who take initiative and do things on their own to do something positive for the community and we certainly appreciate that,” he said. Ginn had a heart problem nearly a year ago and had a stint put in.
The defibrillator will do double duty, in the fire hall’s boardroom for meetings and on Pumper 2 during calls.
