John was a fine young man who was so proud to become a member of our company. He had a great deal of enthusiasm when he joined and made every effort to learn as much as he could to become a good firefighter. His eventual move to an EMS career is testament to his desire to make a difference in peoples lives when they needed it most.

You've left us too soon John, Rest in Peace.

I remember when John came around as a teenager eager to learn and willing to do what it takes to be a good firefighter. He was a terrific person. He will be missed.
