I’ve always heard that firefighters are a close and loyal group, but that has never been so evident as seeing so many of you come to the funeral home visitation for Daddy, to his home to comfort our family, and to his funeral service. We were especially touched and comforted by your solemn display of respect during the funeral procession, as firefighters stood by their fire trucks and saluted as the procession passed each major intersection on the way to the cemetery. The deep respect and camaraderie exhibited by each of you, even the young firemen/women not old enough to have ever worked with my Dad, is just amazing. I thank you too for the video of my Dad at the Union breakfast just before his death. It is such a sweet tribute for you to take the time and interest to record the stories of an old, retired fireman “warrior,” and we will forever treasure this last recording of my Dad. Again, THANK YOU ALL for your wonderful acts of compassion for a fellow-firefighter and his family.
