To the Family of Mr. Sumpter Embrey,
I had the honor and good fortune of working with Sumpter at the National Institutes of Health, Fire Department in 1990 and 1991. I fondly remember his sense of humor and his kindness. I especially appreciate the way he took me under his wing and taught me what I needed to know about "East Coast" firefighting.
My deepest condolances to you.
