I am deeply saddened to learn of your father’s passing.
We spent many nights sitting at the firehouse and just talking about life,
I know he was very proud of you girls.
Your father was a GREAT man. I am sorry for losing contact with
him when your family moved from Dumont NJ.
I have notified the Independent Hose company Firehouse / Dumont Fire Dept about his passing.
Bob Smith will be added to the internal plaque for his last fire call.
God Bless you and your families.
