A fallen Chicago
firefighter lie in an unmarked grave in Des Plaines for sixty years – until
now. Late last month, Mount Emblem Cemetery of Elmhurst, the Chicago Fire
Fighter’s Union, The Chicago Fire Department and All Saints Cemetery placed a
permanent marker on the gravesite of Firefighter John Francis Minich, who died
in a 1952 Chicago fire after rescuing 12 civilians. The permanent marker
was donated by Mount Emblem Cemetery, a Dignity Memorial provider, to rightly
commemorate Minich’s life and his sacrifice. Charged with spreading the news of
this local hero’s story in the northwest suburbs, LCWA worked in tandem with
the Chicago Firefighter’s Union PR team to secure coverage in the Chicago
Tribune, Des Plaines Journal & Topics, ElmhurstPatch.com and the
Daily Herald. Read this heartwarming story here.
