Firefighter
Nicholas Rossomando
Rescue 5
A Memorial Service was held
on October 30, 2001.
Nicholas
Rossomando started his fire and rescue career in 1996 and
quickly became known for exemplary performance. “He did not
present himself as a guy with five to six years’ experience,”
firefighter and friend Lt. Robert Dimperio said. “He was more
like a 20-year guy. He learned a lot in a very short time.”
He also enjoyed the work. “If there is any consolation in
all of this, it’s that he did something he loved, and he perished
doing the thing he loved,” said Rossomando’s father, Peter.
In addition to his father, Rossomando is survived by his mother,
Barbara, and siblings, Peter, Christopher, and Donna.
