While making arrangements recently for my dad's memorial services, I
became aware of some really great people in your community who deserve
special recognition.
The support and help from the Burbank Fire Department, in particular
Burbank Fire Chief Michael Davis and the Fire Fighters Assn. Their
recognition of my dad's years of service to firefighting was outstanding
and created a lifelong memory for our family, for which we will always be
grateful.
The very generous use of the Valley Funeral Home, thanks to Michael
Kubasak, his staff -- in particular Michael Stock and Selassie Burke, who
gave up their Saturday to direct the activity -- are of special talents
that are gratefully appreciated.
And last, but not least, the Leader's interest and support in
publishing the great article on dad's history and relationship to Burbank
was outstanding.
Our family will always remember each person who contributed their time
and effort to make this a lifelong memory.
Thanks to each of you.
