A Great Fellow & FDNY BROTHER.... I first met Ray many , many years ago thru my good Friend Howie Carlson RIP.....Howie had known Ray way , way back when Howie was a MANH Dispatcher (before his appt to The FDNY) & Ray was in LAD*2....for many years Ray was a Chauffeur in LAD*2 & put much effort into maintaining the Rig in Great condition with much attention to detail....thru the yrs. we would meet up with Ray at events... Ray was fully involved in the FDNY life & was known by so many in "the circle" both here & outside of NYC....when I was a Covering CPT back in late 1993 sometime working in 117 then UFO for awhile next door in 263 Ray had just Retired but left his mark in the detail of 117s Rig.

^^^^^^ Another FRED GLESS post from another site.....by a poster there QUOTE...

Appt. 6/1/1968 Ret. 1/1/1995

A memorial mass will be held in his honor tomorrow Monday December 2, 2024 at Holy Name of Mary Church on E Jamaica Ave in Valley Stream, NY at 10:45AM.

Freddy was part of the first batch of probies assigned to the newly created L-103-2 out of the academy on 8/10/1968, the same day the company was organized. He later worked in L-134 and then E-277 as a Lt then ultimately retiring from L-158.

Freddy was a great guy with a lot of good stories, I was lucky enough to get to know him when I joined the vollies in Valley Stream out of high school where his brother Bobby also was a member. Bobby worked in E-224 and E-329, and passed away in 2016 from his 9/11 related illness.

Please keep the Gless family in your thoughts and prayers. May Freddy and Bobby both Rest in Peace.
