Not sure what to say?

each man here carried the title of oldest retired fireman...Frank Marren, Charles Hill, Bud Galbo, and Jim Gavaghan

I just learned of Jim's passing. As a friend of my dad, Charlie Hill, Jim was a delight to visit with at the retirees' events. He was always so proud of his Cathedral history, too.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.

His Smile Says it all. Condolences to the family as I know he will be missed by all. We could not have asked to live on Dequincy Street with such a Great Man and his family.

Dennis, Paqttiann, and Bobby,

May you experience God's peace and comfort as you grieve the loss of your dad. I have many special childhood memories of your dad as he took the DeQuincey Delinquents to see Glenn Campbell, The King Family, Hermits Hermits, etc and to Riverside Amusement Park. May you cherish the memories of your Dad and rejoice that he is in his new home with our heavenly Father.

With Love,
Kathy Rowe(Thorpe)

Dennis,

You and your family are in my prayers. When I read of your Dad's passing my thoughts turned to the days on DeQuincy "Emerson Heights". Good memories were made! I'm sure your memories
of your Dad will help you in the days to come, as well as knowing, he is now "in the palm of His hand".
