June 11, 2004

Friends and co-workers attended a retirement cookout for John Stroup, who served Burke County EMS from 1975 until 2004.

 

Captain Stroup served as the Supervisor for A-Shift. John also serves as the Assistant Chief for Salem Fire & Rescue.

 

John is the first EMS employee who served and retired with a 30 year retirement. John still plans on remaining active in the Emergency Services Community through providing education and training, and serving with his volunteer Fire Department. John also is a lover of camping and plans on spending time with his wife Cathy and his daughter Whitney.

 

John is loved and respected by all who know him and he will truly be missed at EMS. To commemorate his service and dedication, a plaque was given to him for all he has done to make Burke County EMS what it is today. We at Burke County EMS miss John greatly and wish him the best as he enjoys his retirement years.
