Our QDR Hometown Hero of the Week is Joel Wharton, Lieutenant for the Smithfield Fire Department.
Joel was nominated by Caren, who says, “He truly puts his everything in to the department and community. He is kind, hardworking, and always goes above and beyond. Along with that, he helped me raise four boys, now men who have all proven to be great humans! (One also is in law enforcement.) He is a hands-on and involved Papa to our three grandchildren as well. He is deserving of this recognition and in knowing that he is loved and appreciated by his wife and family.”
Thank you, Joel for your service! As a token of our appreciation, we’re sending you a $50 gift card to Smithfield’s Chicken ‘N Bar-B-Q to thank you for all you do.
