It is with profound sorrow that I extend my deepest condolences to the family, friends, and colleagues of Chief Jeffory L. Buck and Assistant Chief Robert Shick of the Walnutport/Walnuttown Fire Company, who were tragically killed in the line of duty while conducting a search on April 4, 2026.
Their bravery, selfless service, and unwavering commitment to protecting others embodies the very best of our first responders. Pennsylvania and our nation owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to these heroes. My thoughts and prayers are with their loved ones and the entire firefighting community during this incredibly difficult time. Their sacrifice will never be forgotten.
— Senator Doug Mastriano

This Easter, we remember the sacrifice, suffering, and ultimate victory of Jesus Christ. From betrayal and trial to the cross and the empty tomb, His resurrection fulfilled God’s promise and brought hope to the world.
As we reflect on the events that led to the Resurrection, we are reminded of Christ’s unwavering love, His obedience to the Father, and the salvation made possible through His sacrifice.
May this Easter season fill your heart with faith, renewal, and the peace that comes from knowing He is risen! He is risen indeed!
