Now that I live in Austin, I do not know about the loss of many Longview citizens. I want Chief Fort's family to know that while I served on Longview's City Council, I was very honored to know a great civic servant! I admired his philosophy and he was always willing to take the time to educate me on all aspects of the fire department, its needs and its services. He was indeed a true example of greatness and I am sure he will be greatly missed. I am sorry I didn't know about this sooner. Sincerely, Dale Simons##imported-begin##Dale Simons##imported-end##

I never got a chance to meet Chief Fort, but I have got to hear stories and share memories with others. As a dispatcher and part of the emergency services we all share alot. I can say that
Chief Fort will truly be missed. My heart goes out to the family.##imported-begin##Julie Allen##imported-end##

Arthur,
I first met you and Lee in 1957 when I started working for the Gladewater F.D. We attended the Texas A & M Training School together. Although I hadn't seen Lee in many years, I am saddened by his death. He was a dedicated public servant. Our prayers are with you. May God give you special grace in this difficult time.

Our hearts ache with yours because of Lee's death. We will keep his family in our prayers. Lee bought pictures to me this year of my dad, Carl Eberhart, with whom Lee worked many years ago. Our family is thrilled to have these pictures. Lee also was a great help when Daddy died. Lee helped us get a tombstone for his graves site.##imported-begin##Bill and Nell Collins##imported-end##
