John
Neuman was a member of 43 Truck. John suffered from a heart attack in the
summer of 2001 and was retired from the job. He always stayed active in the
firehouse, played Santa every year for our kids and those staying in
Metropolitan Hospital Pediatric ward. He also showed up after Sept. 11 and
did more than was expected; he was just one of those guys that would help
you out when you needed it. John passed away last November from another
heart attack. He is survived by his wife Nancy, daughter Danielle and son
John. After his first heart attack John could not get life insurance, and
now it’s time we help him out. John’s friends from Gerristen beach set up a
benefit for him: Saturday
