Every. Single. Day.
Ho**ch is remembered. And his family is loved and prayed for.
Ho**ch is remembered in subtle ways (his name tag remains on our duty board) and in significant ways, with our Annual Michael βHo**chβ Hoosock Good Times Performance Award.
In Ho**chβs memory, please join us in supporting the Annual Tunnels to Towers Run.
For those unfamiliar, this philanthropic organization was born out of the spirit of FDNY Firefighter Stephen Siller. Firefighter Siller not only responded to 9/11 as an off-duty member, but when he reached the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel, he found it was closed to all traffic. Undeterred, Siller carried his 60 pounds of gear and ran through the tunnel to the twin towers.
Firefighter Siller gave his life during the collapse of the World Trade Centers. From this loss, his family developed the Tunnels to Towers Foundation, which raises funds to support first responder and military families.
When we lost Ho**ch in April of 2024, the Tunnels to Towers Foundation stepped in to fully satisfy his family's mortgage. While we cannot remove the pain of losing a first responder in the line of duty, we can take action to support their loved ones.
With that, Cait Hoosock has established a "Team Ho**ch" for this year's event.
