THANK YOU to Yonkers FD and PD

[CBX4627 114]

Just wanted to extend a very large THANK YOU to the Yonkers Fire and Police Departments! Today, we had the funeral of active duty NYC Fireman Rory O'Flaherty of Ladder 34. Rory died unexpectedly from a medical condition while off duty. The funeral was held at St. John the Baptist church on Yonkers Ave. in Yonkers. The Yonkers Fire and Police Departments both did a FANTASTIC job with the aerial ladders holding the flag over Yonkers Ave, with all the companies showing up with the rigs, and with their off-duty members showing up in Class A's. Yonkers PD did a great job with the Motorcycle escort and traffic control!

You guys are a Class Act!

Thank You!

I heard about Firefighter Rory O'Flaherty's death. Very sad. I think he was only in his early 30s as I was told.

We are all brothers, although I never met Rory I feel his family and friends pain. Yonkers lost someone that makes this community and NYC a better place to live. The brothers were there last year in our time of loss, rest in peace Pat, and I only hope that YFD was able to reciprocate some small measure of the support that we received last year. I saw alot of friends from FDNY that I would prefer to see under better circumstances, but it is always comforting to know that no matter where you are, you always have brothers.
