On Friday, Sept. 2, between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m., the Takoma Park Police anticipate an impact on parking and traffic in Old Town Takoma Park due to a memorial service at the Takoma Seventh Day Adventist Church. The public's understanding and cooperation during the event will be appreciated.
A memorial service is scheduled at noon for Deputy Chief Charles Prince of the TPVFD. Chief Prince retired in August, after 50 years of dedicated service to the TPVFD and the citizens of the City and Montgomery County. In those 50 years, Chief Prince was a veteran of more than 23,000 fire-rescue alarms, the most by any member in TPVFD history. He passed away Sunday morning, Aug. 28. Given his long and distinguished service, large attendance at this service can be expected.
