Firefighter
Devoted to Family, Faith Nov. 28, 2001
Jonathan R. Hohmann knew there were risks as a firefighter,
but he also had faith that if anything were to happen to him
he would be with God. That thought has been a source of comfort
to his wife, Rosemarie, since her husband died, along with about
18 of his comrades, responding to the call to the World Trade
Center on Sept. 11. In his 13 years with the fire department,
the 48-year-old Staten Island native moved up the ranks until
he eventually joined Hazardous Materials Co. 1 in Queens. Although
he left for work each morning at 5 a.m., he remained devoted
to his church, his wife and his sons. When he wasn’t working,
he spent time with his sons, bowling with Matthew, 14, or watching
11-year-old Gregory play basketball. The Sunday before the attack,
the Hohmann family, with their dog, Scooter, spent the day in
Wolfe's Pond Park, a memory his wife said she will cherish.
