My name is Victor Flint. I worked with John at Sta 14 (Wheeler) back in 1980/81. John was a good man & a good firefighter. I´m sorry that I missed the funeral. I gave Chief Josh Emanual pics of John, Mano & myself in front of our fire truck at Sta 14. Chief was to get those pics to you. Hopefully you got them. May God Bless John & May he rest in piece. ~Victor Flint
