Michael J. Galimberti, 50, of Wolfeboro, passed away January 23, 2020, after a hard fought battle with bile duct cancer.
Michael was born in Fall River, MA on May 31, 1969, the son of Norman Galimberti Jr. and Rosemarie (D‘Alessio) Galimberti. He grew up in Bristol, RI and moved to New Hampshire during his high school years, graduating from Gilford High School.
Michael is survived by his wife of 18 years, Kimberly (Johnson) Galimberti; his beautiful daughter, the light of his life, Emilia Galimberti; parents Norman and Rosemarie Galimberti of Laconia; his brother Dennis Galimberti of Laconia; sister Shayna Galimberti of Belmont, MA; mother-in-law Pamela Doyle of Wolfeboro; brother-in-law Keith Johnson of Dover; nephews Brandon Galimberti of Laconia and Christopher Johnson of Dover; and nieces Morgan Johnson and Kaitlyn Johnson both of Dover.
Michael’s professional life followed his passions and his personality. He was both curious and compassionate by nature and found outlets for his many interests and need for community service.
Michael was an entrepreneur at heart. His major business adventures ranged from HVAC refrigeration, telemarketing, landscaping, barbecue concession and catering, and photography.
His love for fighting fires began in 2001 when he began volunteering for Middleton Fire. He advanced his skills to Firefighter II while working for Farmington Fire. In 2008, he went to Iraq to work as a contract firefighter and began working for Pease Fire upon his return in the fall of 2008. After moving to Wolfeboro in 2016, he became a call firefighter for Wolfeboro Fire. He continued his service in both departments until his illness. A strong sense of brotherhood ran deep in his veins.
His hobbies included drone flying, fishing, hunting, farming, bee keeping, and motorcycle riding. Michael was an active member of the Red Knights NH #2 motorcycle club which allowed him to participate in one of his favorite hobbies and serve the community. Through the club, Michael contributed to several charities, including Honor Flight New England, Sarah’s Ride, and the Lt. Chris DeWolf Scholarship. Michael was also an avid drummer. His interest was sparked while watching his father drum as a young boy. He was a member of the band Forte from 1990-1995 and several other bands throughout the years. He began drumming for church services at the First Congregational Church of Ossipee in 2018.
Michael was a considerate, jovial, caring person who enjoyed helping others. For his last thoughtful contribution, Michael participated in the Last Wish Program, giving of himself to support cutting edge research at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
A memorial service with full firefighter honors was held Friday, January 31, 2020 at the First Congregational Church of Ossipee at 11:00am.

In Memory of Kyle Jameson
Kyle Richard Jameson, 33, of Hampton, passed away on May 15, 2016 at Memorial Sloan Kettering Hospital in New York City, surrounded by loved ones.
Kyle was born on July 23, 1982 at Exeter Hospital, the son of Sheila (Wise) Jameson and the late Richard Jameson.
He graduated from Winnacunnet High School with the Class of 2000 and while in high school served as an intern at the North Hampton Fire Department, where after graduation he became a call firefighter.
Kyle went on to earn an Associate's Degree in Fire Science at New Hampshire Community Technical College, during which time he was a live-in student at Laconia Fire. After graduation he became a full-time firefighter for the Seabrook Fire Department and earned his paramedic certification from NEEMSI. Kyle's career then took him to the Derry Fire Department where he began playing the bagpipes with the New Hampshire Pipes and Drums. He later moved to the Seacoast and became a member of Hampton Fire/Rescue, where he will forever be a part of the brother and sister hood.
After being diagnosed with cancer, Kyle selflessly committed to sharing his story publicly in order to do something about the extremely high cancer rates that affect firefighters. He was an advocate and role model for his brothers and sisters who have fought, helped others to fight and even those who may have to fight in the future. Kyle had a unique ability to show people that the power of laughter, love and hope will give you the strength to continue the fight. He touched the hearts of countless people who knew him and those who followed his journey online and through the media as he fought so hard for so long. Kyle drew strength during his journey from the support he had from Team Jameson.
He was a proud member of the IAFF Local 2664 and a Master Mason with the Saggahew Lodge A.F. & A.M. in Haverhill, MA.
Family was his life and Kyle was happiest when spending time with his wife Chris, his son Liam and his Bernese Mountain dogs, Piper and Charlie. Together, they enjoyed time outdoors, boating, fishing and relaxing in their dream house. He also loved hunting, scuba diving and wake boarding.
Kyle is survived by his wife and true love, Christine (Harvey) Jameson and their beautiful son, Liam, and his beloved mother Sheila, all of whom never left his side throughout this journey. He also leaves his grandfather, Austin "Pepe" Wise and his wife, Pat, his grandmother Nancy Pierce, his cousin, whom he considered his brother, Troy Wise and his fiancee Nicole Bennett, his special uncle and auntie, Glenn and Lauren Wise, along with many other aunts, uncles and cousins. His family, all of his brothers and sisters in fire service and Team Jameson will miss Kyle dearly and he will live in their hearts forever.

Cyndel Sue Roberts Donoghue passed away from natural causes on March 2, 2021.
Cyndel would light up a room with her smile and sense of humor. She was a natural born leader and for anyone who knew her, there was never any doubt about what was on her mind. She had a strong sense of right and wrong and was always ready to lend a hand. Cyndel was a vibrant, energetic soul who crammed a lot into a life that was cut too short.
At an early age, Cyndel developed a passion for animals. She had a variety of pets, including sheep, alpacas, birds, cats and dogs. She worked for a time at the Blackwater Veterinary Services in Salisbury NH and was known to sneak a stray pet or two into her family home on occasion. She also had a natural gift for floral design and shared her talents and creativity with many through weddings, funerals, and other occasions.
In her teens, Cyndel realized her true calling was in the field of fire services. Having grown up in a firefighting family, she was encouraged to become an Explorer with the Salisbury Fire Department in 2011. Her passion for education led her to obtain numerous certifications including Pro-Board Firefighter 1 & Firefighter 2, Pro-Board Fire Inspector, and National certification as an Emergency Medical Technician. Most recently she had finished her degree in Fire Science from Lakes Region Community College and obtained certification as a Fire Investigator. She worked her way up the ranks with the Webster Fire Department becoming a Fire Lieutenant in 2015, Deputy Fire Warden in 2016, and Captain in 2018. For most of the department Cyndel was the "Go To" for just about everything. As Captain, Cyndel brought her energy & enthusiasm to the department's training program.
At the time of her passing, Cyndel was working at the State Fire Marshall's Office as a State Building Permit Coordinator and part owner of Roberts Greenhouse. She was a rock for her family and friends and left an impression on everyone she met.
