Cecil Smith (Firefighter)
Age: 76

    Cecil died doing what he loved doing most, serving the community he lived in. Cecil we will miss you dearly, we will never forget you, may your brother and sister firefighters that have gone before you welcome you with open arms to your new home and that you will be there to welcome us when our time comes. May St. Florian watch over you and protect you.

World Trade Center, September 2001

    It is with great sadness and a heavy heart that the members of the Meredith Fire Department extend our most heartfelt sympathy to our fallen brothers & sisters of the F.D.N.Y., killed in the line of duty, while trying to save the lives of innocent victims of the World Trade Center tragedy. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    Our sympathy also goes out to our extended families of EMS and Police, who also lost an untold amount of personnel, the victims, their families, and the people of New York City.

    May God be with them and the families of the civilians lost during this time of crisis.
