Tony Talaga died Nov. 9 and the former Belleville Fire Chief and City Council member
was carried to his burial in Michigan Memorial Cemetery in Flat Rock atop a Belleville Fire Truck, with the casket draped with an American flag to mark his time in the Army Air Force. The fire truck, driven by City Councilman/Fire Fighter Brian Blackburn, first took a ride past Talaga’s home one last time before heading out of town.
