My name is Robert Conner. My father Charles W. Conner was a member of Engine Co. 224 from March 16, 1936 to approx. 1961. He was then assigned to the Brooklyn Searchlight 2 out of Eng. 256 on 124 DeKalb Ave. After a few years there, he went to LSS on Welfare Island from where he retired in 1971 after 35 years of service. He died peacefully in his sleep on St. Patricks Day, 1990.
