Jim Riches, a former deputy chief of the New York City Fire Department, was farewelled in a moving ceremony in Brooklyn. Riches, who died as a result of an illness he contracted during rescue work after the Sept. 11 attacks, was remembered as a source of inspiration to his colleagues and the community.
Riches’ commitment, particularly in the search for the remains of his son, who was also a firefighter and died in the attacks, was seen by many as exemplary. His tireless efforts at Ground Zero, where he worked for months to find the remains of his son and other victims, left a lasting impression.
Former Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano remembered Riches’ determination and his role as a role model for other firefighters. Cassano emphasized that Riches was an important support not only to his family, but also to his colleagues. He continued his commitment to the rights and support of first responders who suffered from the consequences of the attacks even after his retirement.
Riches leaves behind a family deeply rooted in the fire service tradition, with three other sons who also served in the fire department. His legacy lives on, not only through his family, but also through the many lives he touched through his work and service.
