I pray for you and your family John that they may get comfort from God more and more as each day goes by. I did not know you though Im sure our paths did cross. We grew up in Ronkonkoma and graduated from the same high school 2 years apart, but I still feel kind of a loss for you. This adds on to the other people i know who have died that day. You were a brave hero!!! All the people who lived because you died. God Bless your parents, siblings and Your wife and precious children who will always know what a hero you are. Jesus will heal their pain. Love and respect to the FDNY and NYPD!!!! God speed!
