It's been 48 years today since you passed. I know I didn't know you as I wasn't born yet, but the way my family talked about you and shared stories. From the stories you would tell from your shift that night. To watching you get ready for work. And how you were more to them than a brother in law. I feel like I knew you. Today, we celebrate your heroics that cost you your life. Thank you for your service
