Historical Notes
Joseph Lovero lived in his native Jersey City, New Jersey. He had three children. A heart condition foiled his plan to be a firefighter, so Joseph served the profession in other ways, as a Jersey City Fire Department dispatcher and as a volunteer assistant at the scene of major fires. On September 11, he responded to the towers with the Jersey City Fire Department. He was 60 years old.
