ANN ARBOR, MI Bagpipes could be heard from the W.R. Wheeler Service Center in Ann Arbor on Friday, May 7 for the dedication of the new training center for firefighters to Craig Sidelinger.
Sidelinger, who died from cancer in January at the age of 45, was Irish and event organizers invited the Metro Detroit Police and Fire Pipes and Drums to play at the memorial and ceremony.

Meanwhile, Washtenaw County Prosecutor Eli Savit made several policy changes in his first week in office, including scrapping cash bail. “The size of a person’s bank account should never determine their freedom,” he said in a statement. Washtenaw County is the first jurisdiction in the state to eliminate cash bail. Savit also announced he was rescinding “zero tolerance” policies and launching a transparency project with University of Michigan and the ACLU.

ANN ARBOR, MI – Craig Sidelinger never gave anything less than his best when it came to being a firefighter or a family man.
By his early 40s, he had done more with his life and seen more of the world than most people twice his age, his wife Julie Sidelinger said.
“He was a wonderful husband and an amazing father,” she said. “He was always an explorer ready to find the next adventure.”
Sidelinger had planned for more adventures in his life with his wife, his 5-year-old daughter and 2-year-old son, but fate decided otherwise in July 2019 when he was diagnosed with terminal colon cancer.
