On the morning of 9/11 Tommy responded to the attacks on the World Trade Center and spent countless hours on the pile at ground zero searching for his fallen co-workers unaware that his efforts and exposure would be fatal. Tommy continued as a Lieutenant, working in Brooklyn’s Station 31 until he was too ill to continue working. He succumbed to illness on October 7, 2014. |
