It is with deep regret that we announce the passing of Retired Firefighter Jimmie Dale Hardy. Jimmie previously served the citizens of Huntington for 28 years before retiring in 2000. He visited the fire station frequently and also greeted with a big smile. A great man and Firefighter of his time, he will be missed. Rest easy Jimmie Dale.
