It isn’t very often you get to be a part of celebrating someone’s retirement after 45 years on the job! However, this weekend brought just that opportunity. I was invited to capture moments from Springfield Fire Department’s Deputy Chief Scott Richardson’s party. It was such a honor to capture these moments as people across the spectrum spoke of his time with the department, bringing a calming presence to otherwise chaotic events - including both his first & last Chiefs. It is clear he will be missed. As I was speaking to him later in the evening he promised that while he has hung up his fire helmet, he is most certainly not gone from town …. I don’t think this would really surprise anyone! Congratulations on your retirement!
