Tom Bohrer (1977)
What a great dad, he took me fishing, hunting and was always there to help me with whatever I needed. Dad passed before I found my career as a professional firefighter. I think he would have approved but would have been proud of whatever I ended up doing. I miss him a lot and will always be thinking of him.
