“Just like everyone else in the region, I am devastated by the Line of Duty Death of John “JR” Gaudet of the Binghamton City Fire Department. My deepest condolences are sent to his family, friends, and colleague firefighters. John and his brother and sister firefighters willingly go into harm's way to protect others, who are almost always strangers. God, please bless Firefighter Gaudet and look after his family.”
