Requiescat in Pacem, Ray DeFrance

Many of you EMS types have browsed through the House of DeFrance at one time or another. If you haven’t, you are missing out on hands-down, without a doubt the best EMS website on the internet.

The owner of the site, Valerie DeFrance is a paramedic from Hope, Alaska. In addition to being a talented paramedic and EMS educator, she is a web designer of some renown and no small talent. Several years back, she designed my business website and has since steadfastly refused to accept any payment, and I’m not the only friend she has gifted in this way.

Valerie lost her husband Ray today after battling a long illness. While I never had the honor of meeting Ray, I think it safe to assume that any man who can command the love and loyalty of Valerie DeFrance for 30 years is a special man indeed.

If any of you folks have ever visited Valerie’s site, drop her a line and pay your condolences. Let’s show her how popular and admired she is in EMS.

Until next time…
