The most important man in my life taught me how to live. Taught me to be honest, fair, and to never give up when there were times I thought I would. Although he was a "white hat" he never forgot who he was.He truly loved being a fireman. I can still hear him say "Hey,girl" and "Susan,we're a team.Thank you, "My little daddy" God gave me the best.
