Dean Boward had been fighting lymphoma and lost his battle on June
2. [Obituary]
Since 1972, he had helped many people and saved many lives in the
Logan County and central Illinois area through his service as a
fireman, paramedic and EMT.
Many expenses were incurred during his illness and passing. As he
had done so much, it is our turn to give back. Middletown Fire and
Rescue and "Friends of Dean" are sponsoring the benefit in his
honor. Proceeds will go toward the accumulated bills.
From 3 to 7 p.m., a meal will be served, consisting of barbecued
pork, baked beans, chips, homemade desserts and drinks. Carryouts
will be available.
