Thanks for adding me a friend Lori. I knew of your husband but, I never got to work with him. I have lost a lot of good friends in this business, but I love it to much to leave. Once a fire pirate... Always a fire pirate!

I never got to work with your husband that I know of, but still heard about his great reputation and respect around the FS. I am sorry for your loss, and wish to thank you for working with the Foundation and the Association to further the benifits to the generations of Firefighters to come behind your husband...

Thanks Lori, yeah he was awesome! My weekend duty is never going to be the same. He was also like a father to me. He took me under his wing the moment I moved up here to the mountains. I am having a rough time with it. Everything about that station is him. Our station appreciated everything everyone did. This family is the most awesome network. Proud to be a part of if.
Thanks again for your condolences. I appreciate it.
