WAREHAM The Wareham Fire Dept. announced the line of duty death of retired Wareham Firefighter David Wahlstrom from occupational cancer with deep regret today.
It’s noted on the WFD Facebook page, “David battled courageously against occupational cancer over the last few years. Please keep David, his family and our department in your prayers.”
Friends flocked to participate in a birthday procession to honor Wahlstrom and show their affection last April when he turned 57.
Police cruisers, fire trucks, pickup trucks and cars lined up in a long procession pouring onto Charlotte Furnace Road to drive by his home to wish him a happy birthday during a driving rainstorm.
