94.9 WDKB presented this weeks #HometownHero award to:

Wade Schneck

Thanks to Ivy from Sycamore for nominating Wade. She said:

“My dad works so hard to keep my mom and sisters happy and healthy by working as a (recently appointed) captain to the fire department. He started the day I was born and hasn’t stopped working since, working overtime and rarely a sick day off and uses all of his vacation days to be with us. When my dad is not working at the fire stations he’s working for Tree Green to help people’s gardens flourish in the spring and fall or shoveling our neighbors driveways in the winter. Even though his work is very stressful he still makes time to teach us how to have fun and encourages us to try our best because he’ll love us no matter what. A while ago he got injured at work and has been struggling with the pain, doing everything he can to keep up with work, taking care of our household and spending time with us. I’m hoping this nomination might lift his spirits a bit so he knows that we love him and always has his back, Just like he always has ours. Love ya dad, stay strong.”
