Name of Hero: John Thompson & Doyle Yell

Hero City: Elk City, Oklahoma

Submitted by: Sherry

My dad, Doyle, was an Oklahoma City fireman from 1963 until his retirement. As a child, I did not realize how stressful his job was. I was so proud of him. Unfortunately he lost his life at the age of 58. He had a rare blood disorder that was associated with chemicals they used to put out fires in the 60’s. I miss him everyday. I also appreciate my husband, John, that is a current firefighter/paramedic. He loves his job and is amazing. I think these men are overlooked and under appreciated. Thanks so much to all emergency responders! God bless you.

I’m a very proud 60 yr old mother, my son who I love very much is a firefighter for the Greater City of Sudbury, he tell me that he loves his job but as a mother I worry about him everytime I hear the sirrens go, it does not matter if it’s a police sirren or a fireman sirren because I still worry because his wife is a police officer and she is also very close to my heart. As far as I’m concerned she is also a hero in my heart, her name is Stephanie Laurin…..Love always from all mothers of firefighters and police officers…Thank you so much, for putting your life on the line for us….LOL…Diane L Laurin
