It is with a heavy heart that I send this message.

Jeffrey Feldick died unexpectedly this morning. Jeff has been an operator with Woodbury County for 15 years and previously worked in Buena Vista County. Jeff has been a loyal supporter of APCO and a fixture at the conferences for many years. He has many friends in communications from across the state and across the nation.

It has been an extremely difficult day as our operators handled the 911 call giving CPR instructions knowing we were sending help to Jeff's house. Everyone involved in the call knew Jeff from the officers that arrived first on scene to the fireman and paramedics. Please keep our staff in your thoughts and prayers.
