The Believe 271 Board mourns the loss of Oriskany Assistance Chief Bud Koss. Bud was a mover and a shaker. He inspired his Red Knights Motorcycle Group to create a ride in support of firefighters with cancer. Each year this ride continued to grow in attendance as they rode through Oneida and a Herkimer Counties. We will miss his smile, his laughter but most importantly his ability to help those in need. We know next year his ride will be the best yet as he rides along with us from heaven. God speed Bud.
