Yesterday was a tug-at-your heartstrings day at Fire-Rescue where I have worked for nearly 13 years. The Chief, Chief Herman W. Brice, retired after 56 wonderful years in the fire service with 25 years leading Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue. Not only was Chief Brice a great leader during his career, but he was a man of great character and was deeply respected throughout the fire service organizations in our nation. What was special about the Chief was his ability to relate to people and make them feel comfortable talking with him. He listened, he cared and he enjoyed the camraderie of not only the firefighters, but the civilian employees as well. Chief had a great sense of humor and was not afraid to have fun at office gatherings and special events. He will be greatly missed, but he deserves his time with his wife and family as they had to share him for a very long time. Goodbye Chief Brice. You simply were the best!
