The recognition ceremony was part of Fallon Ambulance
Service’s 90th anniversary, held earlier this month at the Steel n’
Rye Restaurant in Milton.





Fallon Ambulance Service CEO Timothy Fallon said, “In a society where most
people statistically work for seven different employers during their careers,
we are very fortunate to have Bill with a strong commitment to this company. We
are very proud of his accomplishments and grateful to have him as part of our
team.”



 



The Steel ‘n Rye, located at 95 Eliot Street, is now a
restaurant; prior to its conversion to current use, the building served as home
for Fallon Ambulance for more than 40 years before the firm relocated to Quincy
in 2005.



 



“Many of us who have been part of the Fallon Ambulance
Service family for many years well remember working at 95 Eliot Street and it
was a great homecoming – a chance to reflect on where our company has gone, and
to see our old home in a new light,” said Peter Racicot, Senior Vice President.



 



In addition to its longtime employees, a number of local and
state officials were on hand to congratulate Fallon Ambulance on its
anniversary and its many contributions to the region. Area officials who helped
celebrate the company’s 90 years of service included Weymouth Mayor Sue Kay;
State Representatives Bruce Ayers, Tackey Chan; Brian Dempsey; and Ronald
Mariano. Additionally, State Senators Kenneth Donnelly and John Keenan
attended, as did Braintree Mayor Joseph Sullivan, and a number of area town
selectmen and local officials.



 



Fallon Ambulance continues to maintain strong ties with the
Town of Milton, and is that municipality’s 9-1-1 EMS provider. From Fallon’s
headquarters in Quincy, it provides 9-1-1 service to Quincy, Milton, Braintree,
Weymouth, Brookline and Dedham.
