It is with deep regret the Officers and Members of the Upper Makefield Fire Company announce the passing of Charter Member Mauice Creighton. UMFC Chief Tim Brewer & Life Member Robert Kay Sr had the pleasure of celebrating Maurice’s 100th Birthday this past May by bringing Engine 71 to the party. “Just seeing his face light up seeing the apparatus from the Fire Company he helped start in 1967 was priceless” said Robert Kay Sr. at the 100th birthday party. “He had a smile from ear to ear” said Chief Brewer.
