Summary
Im very proud of my 38 rewarding years as a Professional FireFighter and Fire Engineer, with the City of Ferndale , serving and protecting the citizens of the community. I find that these years as a FireFighter, putting my life in harms way for my fellow man , had a great influence on my ration of compassion working for the families at the Funeral Home.
I also am very proud and dedicated to the serving and helping families who have suffered a loved one passing. At Wasik Funeral Home I offered my caring and compassion nature to the grieving family members for the loss of a loved one.
Photography has been a large part of my life as I established my Photography Studio in 1980 in Detroit, Michigan, a successful business enjoyed all aspects of photography & servicing many clients.
