Edward Alexander D'Atri had the New York Fire
Department in his blood. “The firefighters we knew would always
say, ’If I ever went into a burning building, I’d want Eddie behind
me,”’said his wife Linda. D’Atri, a firefighter since 1984, was
off duty the morning of Sept. 11,but he went to the scene anyway.
When he wasn’t fighting fires, D’Atri liked to exercise, takekarate
classes and read books on philosophy. He had two sons, who loved
to go to the firehousewith their father and sit in the fire truck.
