I worked at old 57’s around this fine gentleman for awhile… Glade to see he lived a long adventurous life. Another manly man from the old Fire Department. RIP Chief…

I worked at FS 70 with Chief Motheral. What stands out in my mind is the hours I would sit and listen to the amazing mountain climbing adventures he had been on. What a gentleman !!!!! Prayers to the Family …..
Roland Escoto LAFD Explorer 70 A says
I remember Chief Motheral as a role model for me as a young man in my Explorer days at Fire Station 70. He was a great and positive person. I remember many times when he’d be exiting his crown Victoria sedan and walking in like the “General” in his Gold collar pins. I was blessed to speak to him when I was around at the station.
When I first heard his first name was Francis, I thought that’s a unique name for a male, I really admire that name because he was a Man’s man. May God Bless his soul and family.
Sincerely
Roland
