I was young enough in the 80’s working in Rescue 4 on Queens Boulevard in Queens, to remember the Cawley family often visiting our quarters. Dad, had Michael and brother Brenden in tow as really young kids. It was a blast, especially when Michael and Brenden were appointed to FDNY. Being in Ladder 136, just down the road, Michael was a familiar face. Hey when he was detailed or worked overtime, Iam sure it was because he could talk and hang with the rescue guys! That’s one if not the only reason he jumped aboard the rig, that fateful morning. In hindsight he left us the way he wanted to go, with the men in blue! Great kid, and I believe that blue front piece would have been on his helmet someday! Rest In Peace.
