Dear Relief Assn.

This is for the memorial of Kelley Van Camp. I know the family is grateful for all you have done. My husband and son are firefighters and my dad was LAPD, so we know how important the Relief Assn is.

LAFRA,

We just wanted to say what a beautiful memorial service it was for Brenda [Sobol]. Philip and I were so inspired by your warm and caring families. We know they will all bring so much comfort to you in the days ahead. Please call us if you need anything – the S.B. Woodie Club members are your family too.

Take care,

Dear Los Angeles Firemen’s Relief Association:

I worked with Harold [Ward, who passed away on January 21, 2015] in the early 1970’s in Battalion 3. I found him to be a very good guy, and he was a pleasure to be around.

Rest in peace brother.

Dear Andy,

Thanks for all your service for our members. Please accept this donation in memory of our mutual friend, Matt Matich. He and I were in the same Class of 1957, and were both from San Pedro, like yourself.

Thanks again,
Joseph Lozovina

Uncle Matt [Matich] was my LAFD role model and a professional in every sense of the word. He was well respected by his peers and was a true gentleman. May he rest in peace. We will miss him dearly but his wisdom will live on.
