dear Fiala family,
I am so sorry for your loss. I have many found memories of the 708 club. It was amazing to read all the great tributes. I am glad he became a fireman, I can't imagine a career better suited to him. I read lots about his great sense of humor; I remember that too. Beth (Jacobs) Frigerio I am so sorry Sheila
