.Nobody can take your daddy away from you, you know that you are the son and daughter of a great man, a hero, a fallen warrior. . ." (statement including a quote from Mayor Rudolph Giuliani by a friend of Frank Palombo, FDNY Ladder 105, deceased)

Frank Palombo was a New York City Firefighter from Ladder 105 in Brooklyn. His memorial service was held Saturday, 10.20.01 at St. Colomba's on West 25 Street in Chelsea. Frank left a wife and ten children. Frank gave his life at the World Trade Center saving civilians. Frank was in or near the Marriott Hotel when the first tower collapsed. "The worst part of this for me is the children," Mayor Giuliani said at the memorial service, and then turning to the 10 children added: "Nobody can take your daddy away from you, you know that you are the son and daughter of a great man, a hero, a fallen warrior." We all are members of Frank Palombo's extended family. The hole left in the earth at the foot of Manhattan is nothing compared to the hole left in our hearts by Frank Palombo's departure from this earth. Please remember Frank Palombo. Say his name out loud. Frank Palombo. Steve Kennedy
