From a letter to the MABAS 10 chiefs:
Please see below from our friends at Tri-State
Subject: Chief Jack L. Mancione retires
This email comes with mixed feelings as we announce the retirement of Chief Jack L. Mancione. Jack has had a 30 year career in the fire service, and he has decided that the time has come to retire.
Chief Mancione has worked his way through the ranks to an accomplished and recognized Chief Officer that has received several life safety and civic awards as well as the respect of his Community.
Jack has contributed thirty years of experience to our Fire District, and his achievements will not be forgotten. Please join us in wishing him the best in the next steps of his journey.
March 4, 1985 – November 6th, 2015
Congratulations Chief!

I guess I missed those and am glad to be enlightened. Many times in life people in higher positions retire and then are blasted often times for no reason other than they had a higher position.

There are plenty of old entries on this blog on the shenanigans in the Tri-State FPD.

Gee, nice to wish him well. Perhaps a link or back story would help.
