I've had numerous relatives involved as first responders over the years and the one thing I will never forget more than one of them telling me was how many suicides and attempted suicides our town has every year. I think my son's comment was, "the numbers would blow you away."
You'll rarely read about it in the paper so most aren't aware it's happening unless it happens to someone you know.
Thank you to Penni and Lyman's family for mentioning in in the obit. No one learns from something that's hidden from view or swept under the rug.
RIP, Lyman.
