I would like to thank all the brothers who came out for the viewings and funeral last night/today. I know from speaking to a few of the guys, we were all surprised at the turnout. Saw departments from as far as Edmonton, Montreal, Colorado, South Carolina, and so many more; and for every out-of-state attendee, there must have been dozens of guys from the surrounding counties. So proud to see all of them, and the dozens of local departments that were lining the procession route to the cemetery.

I cannot speak for everyone in the PFD, but to a man, everyone I spoke to expressed the same feelings I feel. Seeing the turnout was a great morale booster, and we were awestruck at the brotherhood displayed. Thank you.

Dude, it didnt even occur to me to try and find you last night, I was at the funeral home at about 1830. Had I remembered I would have called your cell.

It was touching send off, and I feel priviledged to have been allowed to take some of the weight of the grief off the backs of my brothers in PFD.
