My dear dear fireman, it saddens me to read this thread but yet at the same time I felt my heart soar with knowing there are still true friends like you and dave out there and for that you are blessed.

The pain of watching someone you care so much about suffering and yet holding his dignity must be beyond what most of us can imagine.

But if you can take any positive from this it would be that you were there for him when he needed it most, in your lives as firemen....saving lives together right through to holding his hand at the end and letting him know how much he meant to you...and for that he will find some peace and comfort and I hope you do too.

You're an amazing and compassionate man, please don't let this sad time taint that and remember him when he has passed on for the great friend he has always been to you.

Big hugs for you both xxxxxxxxx
