- A well deserved award. Lew deserves a great deal of credit for his efforts to raise awareness about the need for AED's and CPR training. This led to the purchase of AED's for our condominium association and to the conduct of two CPR training sessions for our residents which were very well attended. You deserve our thanks Lew for improving our ability to save lives.

- Lew Simon represents the highest recognition possible, because he represent the true volunteer. He has been there for the fire department for years and doesn't do it for recognition. Congratulations Lew for your many years of volunteer service.
