RIP: Ralph Dortenzio and a Late RIP: Harold Byrnes

I worked with Ralph while I was on probation in Middle Street. The thing I remember most was his voice. For a little man he had a tall voice. I used to run into him when we were inspecting around upper Norman Street near Capitol Avenue.

I did not write anything about Harold before because I did not know him. I remember I did work with him one night at Engine 2 when I travled there to repay Tuck Colangelo a night I owed him. I said Hi to Harold but did not talk to him much. He was working on a Volkswagan, I think most of the early evening.
