It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Detachment Life Member Joseph Germano, who passed away peacefully on May 22, 2026. He is known as quite the gentleman by those who knew him. This is due to his boundless energy, generosity and work ethic. His four daughters and their children are grateful for the time we had with him. He left this life a better place and did it in a way that only someone who “broke the mold” when he was born could possibly do.
