ANOTHER WAR YEARS VET PASSES.

I remember Joe when I worked, as a fireman, on the Lower East Side in L-11 & TL-18. A good fireman and good guy. I was at the 1975 '"Ma Bell" N.Y. Telephone fire. One of the smokiest, hottest firers I had in almost 30 years with the FDNY. About 1/3 of the Firemen at that fire came down from cancers as a direct result of that fire, and many died. Joe I am glad you beat the odds. Rest in Peace Brother. Captain Bob Rainey FDNY Engine 26 retired.FDNY Telephone Co. Switching Center Fire 1975.jpg

Met Tom when I did a vacation or two in 108, a real nice guy/gentleman & we had a mutual acquaintance. My old Lieut in 114 was Dan Marshall, who became the Capt. of 43 truck & Tom was his Lt. Marshall was also a firefighter in 108 before getting promoted to Lt.
Rest In Peace, Tom.🙏
