He was a charter member of the Westerlo Volunteer Fire Department and was one of the, original members of the rescue squad. He maintained an active interest in both until failing health forced him to curtail his-activities. He gave much of himself to these civic organizations as long as he was able.
One of the highlights of the school year for the boys and girls in the Stepping Stones Pre-school was to have "Uncle Cookie" give them a guided tour of the firehouse and an opportunity to see the inside of the ambulance and to sit in the driver's seat of the big fire truck. However, the climax was to be given a junior fireman's hat by "Uncle Cookie."
The large gathering who came to pay respects at the viewing and again at the memorial service were truly indicative of the love and esteem his friends and neighbors had for him. Sincere arid heartfelt sympathy is extended to his wife, Marie; daughter, Raye; son, Reid; brother Ralph and to all his loving and concerned grandchildren. May God in His tender loving mercy comfort you all with the joy of knowing you will all meet again.
