Another Bravest at the FDNY has died in the line of duty — FDNY veteran William Tolley, who fell five stories while trying to put out a fire in Queens.
He has left behind a wife named Marie and daughter Isabella who is eight years old.
This I find most sad and leaves many with a profound loss of a good man who sought only to save lives and to protect property.
My heartfelt prayers go out to the Tolley family, friends and fellow firefighters who are grieving over a lost of a good man.
Tolley was dedicated to the FDNY and to the City of New York and will be gravely missed.
God bless you, William Tolley.
You died much too young at age 42.
