On Friday 1/15/16 my family was involved in a serious accident in Albuquerque. From the moment the Captain Lloyd Rantanen found out this was my family, phone calls started being made and we had the support of hundreds of brother in blue. President Arencon and Vice President Sanchez were with me in the ER along side Chief Aragon, Chief Chavez, and Chief Dye. Since then the support has continued to flow in. Knowing that the support and caring is there has allowed me to focus on my family. My son Kris has taken the worst of it with a brain injury. He requires peace and quiet so we sit quietly in a dark room all day tending to his needs. I thank each and every one of you from the crew that cut him out of the car to everyone who thinks of us and sends positive thoughts and prayers. Knowing that the brotherhood of IAFF L244 is strong behind me gives me strength every day.
