Brothers Don and Bob Bato must be gone by now. I had the twin boys Donny and Bobby in the Brighton school summer playground program. I think they lived in the city but Mother walked them over to the school mornings. 1956 or 1957...How time flies!
I have not been able to get much updated information on this story. Just the person and Firemen. One was so young I bet it was a family or Boy Scout connection.
That was an all-volunteer fire department and when the siren went off all the local businessmen ran to the firehouse or drove to the scene.
I have heard from one friend that the West Webster area is in shock and just beginning to organize to help the families. Now that I know it was closed to the outlet, from Bay road, I realize how many people I know from that area. I will have to search for more information.
Close, but their actual last name is Barbato and the restaurants are still going, as Don's Original, thanks to Terry Klee!
