We lost Mike on my 20th birthday in 1972. Each birthday brings back the sadness of that day but also the great respect we have for his service. This year in 2017 on my 65th birthday will also be a time to remember the loss but also give thanks to all the men and women of Fire Departments everywhere.
Mike was a great guy and a wonderful member of our family. He loved his job and was always at the ready when the time came to respond to any need. He is missed very day.
RIP
