Thank you Staci for sharing the amazing pictures and videos. It was good
to hear all the wonderful things about Phred by others who knew him well.

He sure touched a lot of lives & will be remembered as long as we live.

I'm so sorry to hear of 'Phred's passing - I've read this whole thread and cannot stop crying. What a lovely gentleman John was - always there with a kind word and deed for those of us who needed it.
The times we've all ROFL with his wonderful stories are without number - his kindness was legendary and I will miss this wonderful man.
Thank you so much Staci xx

Rest in peace dear, kind Fireman Phred

I'm finally home. After the funeral, I went out East to Atlantic City for New Years.

I'm really honored that I was able to make it to the service. It was very beautifully done and I had no idea it was a first for those firefighters.

Staci, I can't believe I missed the Pet Talk card display!

I am finally working on the pictures and the video I took at Phred's funeral last week. Here is the parade of fire trucks in honor of Phred. It was at the end of the funeral and as you can see we went outside without our coats and boy was it cold out there. But it was truly amazing the extent the volunteer fire department went to to for a proper send off for Phred. Once again you could see how he touched people when you see the trouble they went to to "research" the proper way to honor him at the funeral. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtWkEBsyhQM

Thanks for braving the cold, Diana. The volunteers look so nice standing there in their uniforms. I'll bet Phred loved that parade!

How wonderful that they did that. It was so touching to see everyone standing in the cold in his honor!!! I'm sure Phred was watching and giving everyone a hug.

Thank you for sharing this. It was indeed touching to see the parade to honor Phred - just like he deserved. I'm sure it would have made him proud.
