A
funeral was held at Our Lady of Victory in Floral Park for retired FDNY Chief Joseph
McKie.
McKie was with the FDNY for 31 years and is
survived by his wife Eileen and four children Joseph, Christopher, Emily and
Grace.
A friend of
McKie, retired Battallion Chief Butch Brandes, told News 12 four FDNY
firefighters lost their lives just this past weekend.
According to the FDNY Uniformed Firefighters
Association, McKie is the 303rd
FDNY member lost to 9/11-related illness since the Sept. 11 attacks.
