Funeral services were held July 14th at Moyers Corners Station 1 for the late Ken Brand Sr. - "Chief".  Members of the Moyers Corners Fire Department, and of other local departments joined Ken's family and friends.  Services were conducted by Father Finnegan, with special readings from Ken's granddaughter - Michelle, President Greg Shaffer, Past Chief Chet Fritz, and Chief of Department Steve Bressette.

A full department procession was lead by Engine 11, used to carry the "Chief" to Pine Plains Cemetery on Henry Clay Blvd.  Moyers Corners Ladder 1 and Truck 2 bridged the entrance to the cemetery with an American Flag.  A "last call" was dispatched by Onondaga County Fire Control in honor of the "Chief".

A catered reception was held immediately following the services at Moyers Corners Station 1.  This gave the opportunity to reflect on the many accomplishments of Ken Brand Sr.
