The funeral mass for 77-year-old Bob Tapak takes place Wednesday, February 26th at 11am at St. Anne Church on Tecumseh Rd. East.
Tapak passed away on Friday, February 21, 2020
He served as a firefighter and chief for over 40 years in Windsor, Maidstone, Lakeshore and Tecumseh.
The town of Tecumseh is asking for patience from its drivers as there is expected to be a long funeral procession for mourners to pay their final respects.
Beginning at 8:30am, northbound Shawnee Road will be closed to allow for two ladder trucks to display a flag over Tecumseh.
The process will begin around 10:30am from Windsor Chapel to St. Anne Church.
After the funeral, around 12:45pm, Chief Tapak will be borne on the antique fire truck from St. Anne Church on Lesperance to Town Hall, through Fall Hall 1 and return back to Windsor Chapel.
