Varrick, was the first firefighter I worked with as a new rookie fresh out of the drill tower. We rode the tailboard together at Engine 21. He was such a nice and easy going guy. He had a cool and calmness about him. It was a pleasure working with him.

Bill ,Thank you so much for your most kind word , He woke up each day with ,A big good morning ,. ,newspaper , cup of coffee and Maple bar in hand to start his day.. Training stuck with him, he was still doing sit ups at 89 yrs young. On his 90th he decided to take a bike ride up the street. 91 he said it was to old to do those things anymore. Dad, (my father-inlaw) will always be in my heart. Best dad ever !.Christina Young

I worked with Varrick at 21’s in the early 70’s. He was a gracious man. He was a good fireman and truly a strong but a generous individual in all aspects of his life. Rest in peace.

As a young Fireman assigned to FS 14 I had the privilege to work with and around Varrick while he was at FS21. He was a great example of a dedicated member of the LAFD, a good Fireman and mentor. Rest in Peace my friend, you will be remembered.
