Johnny Hires Sr is my father in law. You were a great dad and a wonderful friend. Thank you for blessing me with your son Johnny. May God and all the angels celebrate you into your new forever home. All my love to our family and friends who were part of your service with the fire department and private life. You made a difference in every life you touched. You will be missed, until we can see you again in Heaven .
