Wayne Hawley's return draws 60 Scores of firefighters welcome injured colleague home By Wayne LaeppleThe Daily Item His family members, of course, agreed. They've been making the trip to Philadelphia every weekend for five months.
"It's been quite a day," Judy Hawley said. "I'm thrilled," said Meghann Hawley, one of his daughters. "We'll just take it one day at a time." Hawley sat in the wheelchair on a new deck, built largely with donated labor and materials, basking in the sun, surrounded by his fellow firefighters. In addition to the deck and ramp, a number of modifications inside the house have been made to accommodate his wheelchair. "This was all done with a combination of supplemental insurance, workmen's comp, cash donations and donated labor," Burrows said. "Every bit of it." "It is a wonderful day," Warrior Run firefighter Veronica Melvin said. "The sun is shining and Wayne's home." n E-mail comments to wlaepple@dailyitem.com
