Lt. Richard A. Petras served 26 years with the Cleveland, Ohio Fire Department before passing due to COVID-19. He was a hero and an inspiration. He never neglected his duties and never backed down even knowing the risks that were in front of him.
As a pay it forward, I am hosting this campaign to raise money for a plaque, in his name, to deliver to the department that he worked at.
Rest in Peace hero.
