Biography


Richard G. McCoy of Monroe died suddenly on Thursday, April 26. He was 49 years old. He was born April 15, 1963 in Suffern. He was the son of William and Ann "Nancy" Flynn McCoy.

Richard was a retired New York City Firefighter with Ladder 49, "House on the Hill" in the Bronx and former New York State Trooper with Troop F. Rich was a 9/11 first responder who spent many days at the site, retiring shortly afterward.

He was a beloved husband and devoted father of three, who spent all his time with his children who he loved more than anything in the world. On any given day, he could be found coaching on the baseball or softball field, the soccer field, basketball court or cheering on his daughter at a track and field event. He coached baseball and softball for Monroe-Woodbury Little League, soccer and basketball. Rich was an avid outdoorsman who loved to hike, fish and hunt with friends and family. He will be remembered as the guy who put everyone ahead of himself. He will be missed by family and friends more than he ever could have imagined, but never forgotten.

He is survived by his loving wife, Dawn McCoy (Owens), his daughters, Christy Ann and Tara, and son Patrick at home. He is also survived by his parents, William and Ann "Nancy" McCoy of Stony Point, his brother William McCoy and wife Lisa of St. Charles, IL, his sisters, Eileen Wood and husband Keith of New Windsor and Kathleen Shroba and her husband, Robert, of Stony Point, nieces and nephews.

Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends and all in the FDNY at this time

This is a very sad thread. The posting of those who have passed away after 9/11. As the earlier video say; "343 and counting". The count has reached a high enough number. All those suffering from the effects of 9/11, I hope there is help for you in the future. I know of one member who I recently met. Spent many years on the job, but had to retire. He certainly wasn't ready to do that. Now, after all these years, he is still paying a very high price with breathing issues every day of the year. It doesn't leave him on a holiday in fact it is with him every minute of his life. He certainly is a very strong individual to be able to deal with that.

[nfd2004]

Chief JK, Thank you for remembering and posting the names and stories of those American Heros that we continue to loose as the result of "Americas Worst Day". I'm afraid that most people have forgotten. And you keep their memory alive. They were all good people, with families and friends, and just doing their job. But so many have forgotten, even though that terrible price is still being paid.

  If it's okay, I would like to post the names and some of the stories on other web sites that I frequently visit. Sadly the True story is, many are still suffering from that Terrible Day. I would like to pass this story on, so that many more can remember and won't forget.

 

[68jk09]

Bill certainly  please re-post the material....Thanks for keeping the memories alive....NEVER FORGET !

Very moving tribute

From REMA- Retired Emergency Man's Association

To all members,
It is with great sadness that I report the passing of REMA member Tony Mangiaracina (Ret. ESS 1, ESU, ESS 6) on Monday, September 10, 2012. He finally succumbed to the terrible cancer that he had fought so courageously for many months. He died at home as he wished surrounded by his loving family. The courageous battle was a testament to his courage and spirit. Tony would never give up. The dreaded form of cancer was attributed to the toxins he was exposed to when Tony volunteered at Ground Zero after the cowardly attack at the World Trade Center immediately after September 11, 2001. He was sixty-six and joined the NYPD in September 1974. He was a member of the US Marine Corps, NYPD Honor Legion, Fraternal Order of Police and was a key player in organizing the FOP?s yearly participation at the Police Memorial Ceremonies in Washington, DC in May. Known affectionately as ?Tony A to Z?, he could always be counted on to be a true team player and always maintained his great sense of humor in any situation. Not only was he well respected within ESU, but he was well know and respected in all levels of the Department.
Tony leaves behind his loving wife, Rita, his children, Jimmy, Christie & husband, Richie, and Lisa & husband, Daniel, as well as four grandchildren. Many of us have visited him in his last weeks and every one remarked how animated and responsive he became when he was once again with "his other family". Tony truly loved his years in the NYPD and I know he felt his proudest achievement was being an E-Man. He will be truly missed by family and friends alike.
Please keep Tony and his entire family in your prayers. May he enjoy eternal happiness with the Lord and join those heroes who went before him.

Beecher Funeral Home provided this obituary:

Thomas R. Van Doran, 61, of Patterson, passed away on Tuesday after a long battle with esophageal cancer.

Thomas was born on May 19, 1951 in the Bronx to the late Eugene and Margaret (Leahy) Van Doran. He graduated from Cardinal Hayes High School in 1969 and became a New York City firefighter in 1979. After a long courtship, Thomas married Elizabeth Gavaghen on Aug. 5, 1989 at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Brooklyn.

Thomas retired from the New York City Fire Department as a battalion chief, after working (and studying) for 29 years, in August 2008. He loved golfing and playing the saxophone for his family. He also enjoyed being a pilot and flying his plane over Putnam Lake. Fortunately, he was a bad golfer and a great pilot?not the other way around.

He is survived by his loving wife Elizabeth, his son Thomas, and his daughter Samantha of Patterson; as well as his brother, Gene (Kathleen) of the Bronx; his sisters: Dorothy Van Doran (predeceased by Jerry Rubin) of Poughkeepsie; Ellen Weinberg (Howard) of Archbald, PA and Nora Staller (Robert) of the Bronx. He is also survived by many, many nieces and nephews.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 11:30 a.m. Saturday at Sacred Heart Church in Patterson (414 Haviland Drive). Interment will follow at St. Lawrence O?Toole Cemetery in Brewster. Visitation will be from 4 to 8 p.m. Friday at Beecher Funeral Home (located on Putnam Avenue in Brewster, 845-279-3615).

In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made in memory of Thomas to:
