Dear Amy, so sorry to hear of your dad's passing. Thoughts and prayers of comfort being sent to you and your family. Maribeth Hockey

Amy and family, please accept our deepest sympathies on the passing of your dad. We had so many conversations over the years regarding the Newspaper and the Fire Department. He was always a genuine, involved individual in all that he did. Just the mention of his names brings back more memories than could be possibly mentioned here.
God bless and best wishes to you and the family in this time of sorrow.
