Dear Colleague,
It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Fire Captain Ronald Wilson.
Ronald was a beloved member of Cincinnati Fire Department for nearly 25 years. He was also a loving husband and a proud father.
During his time with the City, Ronald distinguished himself as a man of great faith and character. He was an incredible firefighter who sought additional training opportunities and responsibilities, including becoming certified as an Ohio Paramedic, in the name of public service and a deep love for the communities he served. He touched the lives of many residents of Corryville, Walnut Hills, Clifton and Uptown over the course of his exemplary career. He routinely went above and beyond the call of duty and earned multiple commendations for his actions in the field.
Please join me in keeping the Wilson family and the entire Cincinnati Fire Department in your thoughts during this difficult time.

Eugene Francis Tensing
1948 - 2019
Eugene Francis Tensing Eugene Francis Tensing, 71 years old, passed away on 23 September 2019 after a long battle with cutaneous T-cell lymphoma, the result of exposure to Agent Orange during his service as a radioman in the American Army in South Vietnam. Gene, as he was known to family and friends, was honorably discharged in 1970 and later joined the Cincinnati Fire Department until his retirement in 2003. He was an active supporter of many charitable causes in the city, and supported the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra, the Cincinnati Art Museum, and the Playhouse in the Park. His kindness and financial assistance to friends and family was well known and warmly appreciated. Gene was born in 1948 at the Good Samaritan Hospital in Cincinnati to Armella and Albert Tensing, and was the youngest sibling of a family that included Sister Judy of the order of Notre Dame de Namur, David, Catherine, John, and Michael, who survive him. His shy smile and modest personality were beloved among a wide variety of friends, many of whom visited him during his final days at Christ Hospital and Llanfair skilled nursing. His remains were donated to the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine. He enjoyed his leisure time at "watering holes" such as Marty's Hops and Vines and Brink Brewing Company, where his assessments of the new wares earned him a reputation as a discerning critic. There were few haunts in the city that he didn't know about or patronize at one time or another, and always enjoyed making new acquaintances, many of whom became lasting friends. He was active on the tennis courts of local clubs and was a life-long member of the Friar's Club. He knew Cincinnati as well as anyone and was an astute observer of the forces shaping the life of his city. Gene could be found at most events of the Cincinnati Symphony seated in the front row, with his hearing aid turned up to catch all the notes. He befriended several of the string players and even as his hearing diminished during his illness, he remained loyal to the symphony and attended performances regularly. He was also a fan of local jazz groups, and could still manage to enjoy the music even as his diminished hearing made the sounds more screeches than riffs and solos. In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to the Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur, 701 E. Columbia Avenue, Cincinnati, OH 45212. A memorial service will be held at 3 p.m. on Saturday, September 28 at Bellarmine Chapel on the campus of Xavier University. A celebration of Gene's life will follow at the Hilton Garden Inn, 2145 Dana Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45207.Published in The Cincinnati Enquirer from Sep. 26 to Sep. 27, 2019.

William Gregory Houston passed away the evening of Wednesday May 1, 2019. Bill is survived by his wife Veronica, his mother Jean, his children William, Teresa, Tony and Gina, his siblings Denise, Steve and Gina, six grandchildren and countless brothers and sisters in the Cincinnati Fire Department and the fire community at large.
Bill was born to William and Jean Houston on August 21st, 1956. As a young child, Bill had a strong work ethic instilled in him by his father, and a genuine kindness by his mother. Two traits readily apparent to all who knew him.
In 1991, Bill married Ronnie, joining their lives and four children together as one family. Bill loved Ronnie with all his heart, and they supported and loved each other through life's adventures for the past 28 years. Bill dedicated himself to his family as he dedicated himself to all things he did. It was worth doing. And it was worth doing right.
After college, Bill began his work as an educator, book-ending of a career characterized by his desire to serve others. Bill's career began at St. Joseph's Orphanage and culminated as an English Teacher at his alma mater Roger Bacon High School. Bill's desire to serve continued, and in 1997 he joined the Cincinnati Fire Department, where he would spend the next 21 years of his career, finally retiring in September of 2018. He developed some amazing friendships and forged bonds that would last a lifetime during his career. The outpouring of support from friends, co-workers and perfect strangers over the past few days are a testament to his character, and we are eternally grateful for the kindness. Bill's life and career was about helping people who need help. Even in death his organ donations will help 40 people around the country.
Bill was a husband, son, father, civil servant, educator and historian. The world was made a better place the 62 years he walked it's face and touched those around him. Bill's legacy is in the kindness he showed each and every person he met, and the children and grandchildren on whom he made an indelible impression. If there is one thing to gain from this terrible tragedy, it's to be kind to one another. Bill would have been proud to know he had played a part in helping those around him one last time.
To look into Bill's eyes was to know how much he cared about you. There was a genuine kindness there I've seen few other places, and as his son something I will miss deeply. Dad, we miss you terribly, but will see you soon.
