A fund honoring the service of former Holley-Navarre Fire District Fire Chief Les Slocum will be set up at the Whitney Bank in Navarre.
Slocum, 58, gave his notice of a medical retirement in early September, stating that his last two months would start on Nov. 1.
The fire chief was diagnosed with colon cancer in August 2007, and started chemotherapy immediately after.
