It's a somber moment when a 911 dispatcher utters "The Last Call," for a deceased member of a fire department, emergency service member or law officer.
Yesterday, the last call went out to Jim Morford during his funeral. Morford was the long-time Community Service Manager for the Department of Health and Human Resources in Calhoun, Gilmer and Wirt Counties.
His son, Lucas is also a member of the Grantsville Volunteer Fire Department.

"He will be long remembered as a faithful friend, husband, father and community servant. His family will always remain part of our firefighter brotherhood and family."
"May Jim's journey be swift. May he always remain in our hearts and memories.
