It comes with a heavy heart that today – Thursday March 6, 2025 – we announce the passing of Donald B. Littler (“Don,” “Donny”).
Don was a fire house staple at Union Fire Company, West Seneca Fire District No.2. In 1991 he joined the fire service and worked his way through the ranks to become Chief of the Union Fire Company in 2001. He held the position of Chief for six years and attended every call possible, in fact in 2004 he made 100% of the calls that year. Don later moved on from the Chief’s office and held the position of West Seneca Fire District No.2 Secretary and Truck Room Firemanic Secretary up to present day. Some could describe Don as the glue that held things together and the oil that made things run for Fire District No.2.
In addition to his service with the Union Fire Company, Don was a Public Dispatcher with the Town of West Seneca Police Department for 17 years. He became one of the many voices that many firefighters and police officers came to know on the air, but also off the air. Even after retiring in 2023, Don held onto many friendships throughout the First Responder community.
Don will be truly missed at the station and in the community.
Today we sigh with heavy heart for the loss of a venerable firefighter, but find comfort knowing today he rests at peace with his late wife Pat.
