Recently I posted a message about the death of a good friend and fellow firefighter from my department. It is with great sadness that I report another loss yesterday. A dear friend and firefighter brother lost a long couragous battle with cancer. He was only 42 years old and leaves behind a wife and two teenage sons. I have worked with him for the past 20 years. This is the second great loss for our department in only 3 months. Please keep his family and firefighter brothers in your prayers.
