My family and I love you so much. You were basically like Superman in my eyes as a kid. I remember a fire broke out in our gas oven. My grama call Mr Garred instead of 911. He told us to get out of the house immediately and he ran three houses down the street to our house. He ran straight inside, opened the oven door, grabbed an oven mitt, and ran out of the house with the tray that was on-fire. He threw it in a snow bank and put it out. He was so cool and calm. My grama just kept hugging and kissing him. Superman. I will never got you Mr Garred❤️
