Historical Notes
Oceanside, New York, native Thomas Haskell lived in Massapequa Park with his wife, Barbara, and their three daughters. For Christmas, he set up tiny villages complete with trains. Thomas played on the FDNY football team and was a captain in Ladder Company 132. On September 11, he and his brother Firefighter Timothy Haskell both responded to the towers, where they perished. Captain Haskell was 37 years old.
Manhattan native Christopher Sullivan lived in North Massapequa, Long Island, with his wife, Dolores, and their two young sons. In his free time, Christopher enjoyed fishing for snapper off Fire Island and camping in New England with his family. On September 11, Lieutenant Sullivan, a member of FDNY Ladder Company 111, responded to the World Trade Center. He was 39 years old.
Brooklyn-born Geoffrey Guja lived in Lindenhurst, Long Island, with his wife, Debra, and her two daughters. He was called the mayor of the island’s Gilgo Beach, where he surfed and cruised on his houseboat. A 13-year FDNY veteran, Geoffrey served in Engine Company 82. Although he was on light duty on September 11 while recovering from an injury, Lieutenant Guja responded to the towers. He was 47 years old.
