My brother worked as a NYC cop for an entire year in downtown Manhattan, following the 9/11 attacks. Dave had an apartment in that area and was extremely generous in providing a great deal of fine food and drinks for all of the first responders. He also visited with them and thanked them for their work. Made a point in keeping this quiet and without any publicity, as is his way. A real class act.
