My father passed this past week. He was one of the original drivers of the Big Jimmy (sp.?) and was honored at the ceremony held at Ramona Airport a few years ago. Dad came home from WW2 and was stationed in San Marcos, Camp Elliot, La Mesa, Julian and other locations in San Diego County for several years before being transferred north. He spent his final decades with CDF stationed in Oroville, Butte County. A deep faith in God, integrity, undying work ethic, and strong loyalty to CDF and it’s mission characterized his life to the end.
Gratefully,
Aleta (Crosby) Slater
