His smile was awesome!! He would light up any room when he entered into it. I remember him coming into Shiloh station and introducing himself. He never said he was a chief at WPAFB, he just said he has a little bit of firefighting experience. He just wanted to have some fun fighting fires without the responsibilitys of a boss!! A toast to you my friend, RIP until we meet again!!
