Ralph

This past weekend my mothers cousin Ralph died of liver failure. He had been waiting for a donor but to no avail. I knew him well because he was also my dentist. He was a great guy and very family oriented. He was actually my inspiration for jumping out of the trades and into the fire service. He quit his job at 32yo and became a dentist. With his victory in mind I made the jump to the fire service at age 33.

Please keep him in mind as we commit his body to the earth this weekend.

I will keep you all in my thoughts.
May the Force be with you, Phortis.
I'm so sorry for your loss.
