David N. Hilton
The York Fire Department regrets to announce the passing of David Hilton (Snowy). Dave served actively on the York Fire Department from 1979 to 2003. He served as Firefighter, Lieutenant, and Driver (or as he would say "Motor Pump Operator"). Dave spent many hours volunteering for the Fire Dapartment, dedicating his time with the Rehab, Weekly Fire Log, Fire Lookout Tower, and most known for making sure the second pump got out of the station. His memory and spirit will always be in the Village Fire Station and Engine 4. Check back later for further information on funeral arrangements.
