 DAVID ALLEN "UNCLE BUCK" WHITING
 
March 27, 1959 - May 13, 2020 
 
It is with much sadness that the Riverdale Fire Department, Inc. announces the passing of Life Member David Allen "Uncle Buck" Whiting.  Born March 27, 1959, Dave joined the department on December 16, 1975 at the young age of 16.  He held numerous line officer positions during his tenure from Superintendent of Machinery through Assistant Chief.  He also held several administrative offices including President for several terms. 
 
Late in his career he became active in the Prince George's County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association serving on the Board of Directors, and as 2nd Vice President, 1st Vice President and ultimately as President of the Association from 1995-1996.  He was inducted into the PGCVFR&A Hall Of Fame on September 14, 2001.
 
Dave will always be remembered for his willingness to work headstrong on any task assigned and his friendly demeanor, almost always with his canine companion, Tucker, by his side.  He will surely be missed by all.
 
The department wishes to extend our heartfelt condolences to his family and friends.
