Not sure what to say?

oh wow; John.....you sure rock'd the department on your last alarm; we all had to check ourselves after learning of your line of duty passing. It was truly the longest day for many of us when we paid our respects. Rest in peace brother....forever on duty....looking forward to the kitchen table talk when called to cross over. Much love and respect to you and your lovley family. Shannon Pennington Ex IAFF 255/ Past President Calgary Fire Department Honour Guard.

I remember this day too very well. Hearing that a fellow Balzacian had passed in this fire was so sad! But what makes me sad now is that the play ground was removed from Morley James Park. I was always looking forward to taking my grandchildren there to play and tell them the story of Morley James, the brave hero, that unfortunately lost his life fighting that fire. Now that I have grandchildren, there is nowhere to play!
I think of Morley James and the battle he lost every time I pass by...

Always remembered by the Calgary Police Service as well! God bless!

I too remember this day.....I was jogging to work at station 18...Morley pulled up and said "hop in I will give you a ride"....I declined as I wished to run and he drove on to number 12. I learned of the tragedy the next morning. How very sad.....He was a great guy.
