On behalf of the Alberta Fire Fighters Association I wish to extend my most sincere condolences to Don's family, friends, and colleagues. I was very pleased to be able to call Don a friend, and will forever be grateful for the conversations and time we shared together. President Marino served for over 25 years as a firefighter in the North Bergen Fire Department and North Hudson Regional Fire Rescue, retiring from active service in 2011. He held multiple leadership positions in the firefighter union locals in both departments. President Marino served for many years as 2nd Vice President and Treasurer of the Professional Firefighters Association of New Jersey, the chartered state association of the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF), before becoming President in 2008. Don you were truly a great person, friend and brother, and I’m going to miss your friendship. Rest well my brother.
