After returning from my honeymoon in Jan. 2017, I read about yet another FDNY’er who died from September 11th toxins. It was 61 year old longtime Bronx firefighter Joseph O’Toole. I thought to myself, everyone should know who these heroes were, as people. I resolved to reach out to their families, to join me on “Sonstein Sessions” to pay tribute to their husbands, wives, sons & daughters. I am honored to kick off this monthly series with Chris O’Toole, whose husband was affectionately known as “Toolie.”
