I had the great honor to work with this great man at LFD from 1979 till the day he retired. It was truly an honor and privalege. Whenever I saw him after his retirement I still called him Chief because in my book he was the greatest Chief and person I could have ever worked with and for.

And that your dad was a Lakewood firefighter. Once I saw his picture I remembered him from growing up in Lakewood, also remember my father talking about him.
