Thomas Hannafin

THOMAS HANNAFIN, 36, of New York, had been a firefighter for 10 years and was a great athlete. He captured a gold medal earlier this year in the three-on-three basketball competition at the World/Police Fire Department Games in Indianapolis. He was last seen on the 37th floor of a trade center tower. “He was a family man who was always with his children and his wife, and he was a great athlete and team guy,” said Kevin Hannafin, who was among the rescue workers who recovered his brother's body.
