The funeral of a Chicago firefighter, the fourth in the city this year, could have been one of the biggest.
On Monday, firefighters from Chicago, as well as other cities, filled the Grand Ballroom of Navy Pier in honor of Andrew Price, who was remembered for his bravery, selflessness and sense of humor.
Who was Drew?” Pat Gallagher said, “We knew him as an honest, humorous, generous, kind, considerate, diligent, caring, gentle and thoughtful person.”
Before the funeral thousands of firefighters formed an human semi-circle and slowly processed past Price’s remains. They saluted with a gloved white hand.
A 39-year old firefighter was killed last week after falling through a roof skylight while ventilating a building on four stories in Lincoln Park.
John Haring, a fire captain at the time, said he saw Price standing on the roof just moments before the incident.
He looked at the rising sun with the city behind him. Haring said that he told Mora to “Get on with it, Majala” (brother).
After Price’s funeral, firefighters transported his remains to Truck 44 – the company where he had worked for the majority of his career. The uniform, boots, and hat of Price were all at the front.
The remains of the deceased were taken from Navy Pier and buried privately after a helicopter flyover.
