Search for Photos of Fallen Firefighters

Tim Werle, a Los Angeles firefighter, is looking for photos of seven L.A. firefighters who died in the line of duty.  The Los Angeles Fire Department training center has photos of all its fallen except these seven.  Here is his message:

I am a firefighter in the City of Los Angeles and over the years of our existence a number of great men have lost their lives in the line of duty. We have a hall at our training center that has photos of them all with the exception of just a few. I am wondering how genealogy, record searches, and the Internet can help us find a photo of these great men so that we may give them the honor they are due.

The names of the fallen (each name has a link to the stories and newsprint associated with the individual):
