I'm very sorry for the family's loss.

Come to think of it, I was driving south on I-93 earlier today to Bird & Reptile Connection (the pet store where I purchased my now-almost-4 year old pet Congo African Grey Parrot, Aziza), to buy some food and supplies for her when I noticed the firemen and the firetrucks not only on the side of I-93 South, but there were also groups of firemen with firetrucks standing on every single bridge from Quincy on down to where I-95 South begins, and was wondering what that was all about. Thanks for the heads up regarding what was happening.

Semper Fidelis

His sacrifice was not in vain. Please help his family if you can.
