[HFDlist] Obituary for Mark Bulak

[Bergstrom, Peter (Pete)]

For the calling hours and service for Mark Bulak, any member interested in going, a group of us will be meeting outside at Miles for 2:15 PM this Saturday. We will go through as a group in the regular line, no separate FD walkthrough. Dress will be Class A, no badge cover, no white gloves. Class B acceptable or  appropriate civilian attire. Up to individuals if you want to stay for the service, I will be going.

I realize many of the current members do not know Mark. He was a very active member during his time with HFD. Any HFD appearance will be greatly appreciate by the family. His loss was sudden and unexpected by them as well as others.

Thanks to those who have contacted me so far. Any further questions, let me know.

Pete Bergstrom
