Brian I’m sorry sorry for your loss!!! As someone who also lost my daddy to a short cancer battle (exactly 1 month from finding out) I understand the shock and disbelief you are going through and the enormous hole that’s left in your heart!
But I also understand the other side, The first responder side! That side is the one that’s hurt the most right now! Knowing in your head that all the training classes, real world experience, and the ridiculous amount of hours you put into your job couldn’t save one of the most important people to you!!! Just know you’re not alone, and if you ever never to talk call me!!! All my prayers to you and your family, plus your brothers/sistes on the Fire dept! IGY6;
Chief Petters, your legacy will live on! You will not be forgotten!!!! Rest easy brother walking though golden streets! FILO!! We will take it from here!!
