Mike, Kevin, Sherry and Mrs. Smith,
I am very sorry to hear about the passing of your dad and husband. My father always told me how great, strong and tough a fireman he was. B.O.B. ran through his blood. My father also told me how much he loved St. Rita because of his two sons. I will say a prayer for your dad and for all of you during this difficult time.
