    By James Short  The friends, family, and community united together on Saturday afternoon to honor Upper Gwynedd Township Fire Department's Jeffrey Tomczak, 44, who passed on July 25 after a battle with cancer. Area fire trucks came from units throughout Montgomery County to drive in a procession for Tomczak’s service, which headed down Sumneytown Pike on Saturday from noon to 3 p.m. from Corpus Christi Church to the Greenlawn Cemetery. Tomczak's last ride was made alongside many local first responders. 

Tomczak left behind his wife, Brittany, and two sons, Matthew and Connor. A member of the department since 1996, Tomczak served his community with pride and honor. Donations may be made in his memory to the Montgomery County Hero Fund, PO Box 231, Eagleville, PA 19408, and/or the Upper Gwynedd Township Fire Department, PO Box 340, West Point, PA 19486.
