We were obviously trying to draw people in a respectful but dynamic way.1:36We didn't want to draw somebody who was less than alive, you know, so we tried to imbue them with a degree of energy.1:45[name unclear] in Staten Island1:48as one of the nicest guys you'd ever meet.1:51A gardener who grew tomato plants at the firehouse,1:54a caring neighbor, and a devoted father1:57who coached his kids' baseball, softball, and soccer teams.2:02He also was a private investigator,2:04a substitute school teacher, a soccer coach,2:07a father, a husband, and a hunter.2:10He wasn't happy unless he was doing four things at once,2:13said his brother Michael.← Location 388Heart Four · Location 389Location 390 →
