I am pretty sure that Joan told me that he spent a lot of time on the weekends sitting by Phred's side. I'm kinda of thinking that he was Heidi's dad at least before the divorce.

I think that each of those firefighters could have told us a personal story about how Phred had touched them or helped them. It was amazing to see and for that I will always be grateful that I went to the funeral.
yup - you are right - the man with the dark moustache is Brian and he drove to Marysville every week to work then drives the 4+ hour drive back to Youngstown/Berlin Center. A lot of times when I called Phred - he would say - can I call you back - I'm talking to Brian. AND he was Heidi's dad pre-divorce. It was really tough on all of them. I agree Diana - I wish some of them would have told us Phred Stories.

I got an email from the Photographer and she took a dvd to the fire dept - she couldn't figure out how to get the video online. I am going to call there in a day or 2 and see if they will burn me a copy and send it to me - I think I might be able to find someone around here to d/l it to email. I would really like to have it for the Memorial Service at the Findlay park.
