The Findlay Fire Department paid their respects as the funeral procession for John Hassan, the Fire Chief for Mount Cory for many years, went by Fire Station 1 on Friday.

The department put up a memorial flag on a ladder truck over South Main Street that the funeral procession drove underneath.

The procession then turned onto Lima Avenue and proceeded to a cemetery in Mount Cory.

Hassan was also a past president of the Hancock County Firefighters Association.

John’s son, Tim, was a Captain for Findlay fire and retired a few years ago after more than three decades of service.

“Certainly in their family there’s a lot of service in representing the county and city on fire departments,” said Findlay Battalion Chief Matt Traver.

Hassan was 84-years-old.
