Kenneth
Kumpel returned to the river he loved so dearly earlier this
month. The Hudson River meant so much to the Schenectady-born
firefighter who lived along its mighty shores with his wife,
Nancy, and two sons, Gregory and Carl. Ashes collected from
Ground Zero were tossed over the side of the family's boat not
too long ago as a symbol of his sacrifice. Kumpel was a volunteer
with the Highland Engine Company and the New Hyde Park Fire
Department in Long Island. He was a giver and loved firefighting.
He was 42. (62 Days Article)
