For Uncle Russ

He fought fires figurative and real
The latter a source of pride
For many uears he helped others
Good friends by his side
His last call is a journey
He does not make alone
Those who went before him
Will guide Russ to His Home
Do not grieve because he's parted
Celebrate his life
It was a long and good one
With more happines than strife
Almost to the end
He did what he loved to do
A husband, brother, father, grandfather, friend, a firefighter
A hero tried and true
Now the Final Alarm has sounded
He has been called Away
Not to danger this time
For he is in Heaven on this day
