[Colorado-Talk] Goodbye to a good friend

[Jd Holcomb]

Fireman's Prayer
When I am called to duty, God 
Wherever flames may rage 
Give me strength to save a life 
Whatever be its age. 
Let me embrace a little child 
Before it is too late 
Or save an older person from 
The horror of that fate. 
Enable me to be alert 
And hear the weakest shout, 
and quickly and efficiently 
To put the fire out. 
I want to fill my calling 
To give the best in me, 
To guard my friend and neighbor 
And protect their property. 
And, if, according to your will, 
While on duty I must answer death's call; 
Bless with your protecting hand 
My family, one and all.

Jon Jon Asper was a very dedicated member of the NFB, often putting up his own money for fundraising for the Mountains & Plains Chapter. He has been a member for the last three years and immediately paid for a lifetime membership upon joining. He was a retired fire chief, who is blind throughout most of his life and Showed how someone who is blind can do anything they set their mind to. I worked with him directly inlearning adaptive equipment and we had many many times together we would laugh, cry and share. He will be greatly missed!
