We were saddened to learn that Retired Hopkinton Fire Chief Rick MacMillan passed away January 22, 2018. An Official Starter for the 2016 Boston Marathon, his love of the marathon dated back to his childhood. For years he opened his home to the Lead Vehicle Team on race morning. In addition to his duties with the HFD and volunteer work for the marathon, he served as an Election Warden for years. We will sorely miss him!
