We are so sad to hear of his passing. He was a wonderful, godly and caring man. He will surely be missed. He use to make snow cones for VBS and now he is making them for the angels!

Chief Cook,
Although we were recent friends, we shared a love of the BFD. I will always remember and appreciate your interest, concern and assistance when I and my family were researching the line of duty death of my dad, Chief Sullivan. Thank you for helping us to obtain his rightful place in the "Hall of Honor". I also very much enjoyed our "chats" and the "tour" of your memorabilia...What an honor! I looked forward to hearing from you each year at Christmas and will miss you.
My family and I send our thoughts and prayers and thank you for your service to the BFD.
Richard Sullivan & Family
