Saturday July 14, 2001, A reception of friends was held at the North Station at 1pm. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for being with us on such a sad day. Pookie meant so much to all of us. Your thoughts prayers and especially your presence here today has helped us through one of the most difficult times our Department has faced in our 10 years together. It is very comforting that you, our brothers and sisters in the fire service, have come to our aid in our time of grief..
