Robert Sorino, a dedicated public servant whose decades of commitment left a lasting mark on Lakewood’s fire service, has passed away.
Sorino, an exempt member of the Lakewood Fire Department, first joined Reliance Hose Company #4 in 1974, beginning a lifetime of service that would span generations. Over the years, he played a vital role within the company, including serving as its president, where he was widely respected for his leadership and steady presence.
In addition to his work with Reliance Hose, Sorino also served as a member of the fire police, contributing to scene safety and emergency response efforts throughout the community. His involvement extended beyond active duty, as he remained a committed participant in both the Lakewood Fire Department Relief Association and the department’s Exempt Association for many years.
Colleagues remember Sorino as a devoted firefighter who embodied a deep sense of duty and pride in serving Lakewood. His decades of volunteerism and leadership helped shape the department and support those who served alongside him.
Thank you for your service!
