Dear Cousins, Hazel & Charlotte,
I have wonderful memories of your father. He always gave us his attention as only a loving fun person could do. I am sorry for your loss. My mother, Dorothy is the only one left. She is 86 & in the nursing home here in Concordia. She has dementia so doesn’t remember a lot of people. Goldie Fern gave me this information. Please let me hear from you. God Bless You, Rita
Medford was one of the best. I always liked his easy going style and sense of humor. We had many a good laugh. I’m another one that he took under his arm and trained. He and his crew came to our wedding reception and gave us a case of canned goods without any labels on them. Interesting dinners for a few months. Now that I am one of the “old farts” I know what they must have gone through with all us kids running amok in the fire station.
Medford, was an old-timer on the dept.when I first joined the dept. I remember him as easy going firefighter with a wealth of knowledge of the dept. He was gracious, in helping to teach this dumb as a box of rocks rookie. Thanks, you will be missed.

To hazel Dean and Charlotte – I wish to send my condolences on the loss of your Father. Medford worked at the Hanford Fire Department for many years with my Father, Ray Carson. I have fond memories of our families’ visits in each others homes over the years. What a wonderful experience to have friends like our parents were. My prayers are with you in your time of loss.
Charlotte, and family: I am so sorry for your loss.
It’s been several years since we saw Medford in our clinic but we remember him well and know he will always be remembered. God be with all of you during this difficult time and may you all be comforted by the love and support of your family and friends.
