In a 36 hour span this past week the Boston Fire Department lost two long time members due to Occupational Cancer. Thanks to the presumptive cancer laws both these deaths are being treated as Line of Duty Deaths. I didn't know Joe personally, I've known his brother Danny (Car 300, Group 1) for years, but I had met & worked with Frankie several times, the last time over the summer when I was detailed to E33 & he was the Acting Lieutenant. Two good men, taken too soon.......Rest In Peace Brothers!
