Jigger was my first Captain when I came on in 1988 at old Station two. He made my introduction to the department much more excellent, RIP.
Hello. I am Darlene (Oulton) Bruneau, and I am the youngest daughter of Al and Claudette Oulton. I remember Jigger from my childhood as a great friend of my Dad as well as a funny guy. I last saw Jigger at my Dad’s funeral. I hope the wonderful memories your family created will sustain you in this loss. He will have those to remember too, as he waits to see you again. Wishing you peace as you navigate this time.
Condolences from across the miles many fond memories during my service RIP Jigger. Boom

Dear Mrs. Troughton, Cathy, Brian and Brenda,
I just heard of Mr. Troughton’s passing. I have so many fun memories of time spent at the lake and other adventures with our two families. I also remember the kindness shown to me and our family when our parents passed. Grief can be such a difficult thing to endure, I hope your love and memories ease the way.
