Just days after the funeral service for fallen FDNY firefighter and Rockaway resident Timothy Klein on April 29, at the Church of St. Francis DeSales in Belle Harbor, state Senator Joseph Addabbo and Assemblywoman Stacey Pheffer Amato sponsored a resolution that will have his heroism recognized by New York state.
Klein grew up in Breezy Point and lived in Belle Harbor, two Rockaway neighborhoods represented by both Addabbo and Pheffer Amato.
