When duty called, our brother he would go,
Ever undaunted, met the fiery foe.
May guardian angels o'er him vigil keep,
While he lies resting in eternal sleep.

Ed, Kristen, Dan, Tricia, Tom and families, you are all in my thoughts and prayers today and always. Your dad was a very lovely man and he and your mom raised some pretty awesome people! May he rest in peace. God Bless.

Dear Roudebush Family,
I would like extend my deepest condolences on the loss of John.I met him at Engine 23's quarters,when i was just 15, back in 1975. He was a great guy and I was glad to call Him friend. When I started at De LaSalle he always joked about how the brothers would keep us in line!
We will keep the entire family in our thoughts and prayers!
