FDNY Rescue 1 Firefighter
9-11-01 World Trade Center,
Tower 1, New York
This is Kenny My husband, Kenneth
J. Marino, FDNY Rescue 1, died while fighting a fire at the
World Trade Center on September 11, 2001. Kenny has been a fire fighter
for over 20 years, starting when he turned 18 - as a volunteer and continuing on
throughout his career of over 10 years as a New York City Fire Fighter.
Even though fire fighting was in Kennys blood, so many things make up who
Kenny was. He was a caring, thoughtful husband, attentive father
(DaDa) to Kristin and Tyler who were only 3 and 1 years old at the time,
and loving son to his Da, Patrick and mother Mary Ann. He also had
many hobbies. He enjoyed playing softball - NY Mets, Hockey - NY Rangers,
strat-o-matic, taking care of his house and home. He also worked other
jobs, as a disc jockey, school bus driver, some construction work and automobile
detailing. He was always busy and he fit so much into his 40 years,
however, it will never be enough. He will miss so much his children growing
up, their spirit, hopes, dreams, accomplishments and so much more.
He is our Hero, our Angel, and will always be our special guide through our
lives. We will always miss him and know that he is with us, and watching
over us.
