Dennis J. Conway

April 26, 1945 - March 3, 2026

Beloved son, brother, father, grandfather.

Courageous firefighter, a dedicated friend, he will be forever remembered.



Dennis J. Conway, a proud and dedicated member of the Fire Department of New York, passed away on March 3, 2026, at the age of 80.

Dennis was born in Brooklyn on April 26, 1945, to Helen and Joseph Conway. He grew up in the streets of Greenpoint surrounded by friends and cousins. He entered the United States Army in 1965 and fought bravely for our country in Vietnam.

After his time in the Army, Dennis proudly joined the FDNY in 1968. Starting out in the South Bronx, he then found a home in Brooklyn, Ladder Company 111

"The Nuthouse". Along the way, he received many honors for his heroic efforts.

Dennis was in the FDNY for 31 years and ended his career as a decorated firefighter. He formed many lifelong friends with the firefighters he served alongside. The friendships he made during those years remained deeply meaningful to him throughout his life.

In retirement, Dennis loved spending time on the golf course, enjoying the game and the time spent outdoors.

Below from E79/37/B27:

"With regret, we inform you of the passing of Lt. Lawrence Elliott (Retired/former member L37).

Larry's FDNY career: E50/L19 from 67-74; L39 from 74-81; E80 from 81-88; L37 from 88-93; & E52 from 93-97.

Lawrence “Larry” Elliott was born on May 17, 1943, in the Bronx, New York, to the late Joseph and Margaret (Strempel) Elliott. A graduate of Cardinal Hayes High School in the Bronx, he later earned his bachelor’s degree from Mercy College. In 1965, Larry was drafted into the United States Army and proudly served a tour in Vietnam from 1966 to 1967.

After completing his military service, Larry joined the FDNY, where he dedicated thirty years of service, rising to the rank of Lieutenant before retiring in 1997. On January 24, 1970, he married the love of his life, Kathryn Hamilton, in the Bronx.

Following their move to Brewster, Larry became deeply involved in the community. He was a devoted member of Sacred Heart Church, the Fr. Breen Council 7490 Knights of Columbus, and the Putnam Lake VFW Post 9257. He generously gave his time teaching CCD at Sacred Heart Church and coaching girls’ track at Brewster High School and John F. Kennedy Catholic School in Somers for more than 30 years. Larry also took great pride in coaching his son Stephen’s soccer and track teams.

Larry and Kathryn opened their hearts and home to foster children and shared a lifelong love of animals.

In addition to his beloved wife, Kathryn, Lawrence is survived by his son, Stephen Elliott (Antoinette Roman) of Danbury, CT; his brother, Joseph; his sister, Joann; and his cherished grandchildren, Stephen and Alexandra. He was predeceased by his sister, Susan.

The Wake will be held on Sunday (5/17), from 1-5pm at Beecher Funeral Home, 1 Putnam Avenue, Brewster, New York. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated on Monday (5/18) at 10am at St. Lawrence O’Toole Church in Brewster.

Memorial contributions in Lawrence’s honor may be made to the NYFF Burn Center Foundation, through the organization’s website, www.nyffburncenter.com/.

Our deepest condolences to the family. May Larry Rest in Peace. Thank you for your Service to our Country and our City"
