My father's a firefighter. He was my whole life. And my brother-in-law and several family members are firefighters.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
In addition to my cousin, there were 30 or 40 guys I grew up with who became firefighters as well. So, I've been around firefighters all my life.
My father was raised with brothers, he was a football player and a boxer, he was a chief petty officer in the Navy, he was a man of his times.
I grew up in a family of firemen and cops.
My dad's a photographer, and my sister is a writer and a poet. My little brother is a mandolin player - he's a bluegrass musician. It's always been a part of the family.
My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.
My father... very generous, very philanthropic, very charitable man. My siblings and I and my mother continue with always appreciating and always giving back. It's something I hope that I've become a role model for my children.
As the member of a firefighter family myself, supporting the widowed families of rescue workers is an important, personal cause of mine.
My mother's a secretary; my father's an electrician in a mining company.
My dad was a New York City cop. His father was a New York City fireman. And my mother's dad was a city taxi driver.
My dad was a golden gloves boxer in the Marine Corps, then a deputy sheriff. My mom worked as an office assistant.
