T.J.(TOM)'s Story

April ‘24 Wow, nearly 50 years ago I parted ways with my Selah High School graduates. As with all reading this a lot has changed. Decades gone by, a new century experienced, for us baby boomer generation of times gone by never to be lived again. Married to a SHS grad in ’81 and now nearly 45 years of life experiences and bountiful memories. Our life together allowed us to raise two great boys, one with two awesome grandkids 😊 My DASH. The dash representing the time between the day born and died. I maintain that it’s not what people say of me occasionally, rather what My Dash amounted to. 2019 saw my retirement after 40 years with WSDOT with accomplishments. Just one, involved with the construction of I-82 from Yakima to the Oregon border. Further works with WSDOT as a Senior planner in Tumwater gave way to over 15-years of State highway planning studies, safety solutions and successful programs in place today. That also included nearly 15 years leading and promoting state-level roadway traffic incident management programs and education for responders statewide and nationally. 1987 saw a move from Yakima to the westside where the good Lord blessed me with opportunities to furthering my career in the volunteer fire service, locally, statewide, and nationally. Leading the Washington State Fire ...Expand for more
Fighters' Association as President for an unprecedented 8 terms has honored me with the title of WSFFA President emeritus. A Selah boy done good. June 2024 will cap 50 years of volunteer fire service work that began in Selah, then Federal Way, Broadway Yakima and 26 great years in Lacey. The latter afforded incredible opportunities of service and leading organizations and such. 37-years’ service, 8-time president of the Washington State Fire Fighters' Association. The very abbreviated list of service and accomplishments including 12-year appointments to a Governor’s fire protection policy board, nearly 25-years as WA director to the National Volunteer Fire Council with the list going on and on. For instance, the volunteer F/F license plate. A 24-year effort as project manager that resulted in the availability of the license plate with revenue that financially benefits volunteer firefighters, their families, and others. Honored to be the proud owner of VF00001. Bottomline, Selfless efforts that has gone to benefit thousands with my commitment to others. Honorable mention to those lost. From classmates, peers, firefighters including Dad & Mom in 2012 and 2015. Too many, some too way too soon. August 2024 will assemble classmates from far and wide back in Selah, hoping you can attend too. Cheers
