My name is Gregory Samuel. I was a trainee with Ed Beyea. I moved around with Ed and Irma prior to Abe coming to Blue Cross. When Abe came, Ed, Abe, Irma and myself went out to lunch. SOmetimes we went with our aentire group. Mr Yim, Kit Lee and others. I left Blue Cross in 1998, if not I would have been with Ed. In fact, I visted Ed in Roosevelt Island the weekennd before 9/11.
Thanks for sharing. What a story concerning these two guys on that dreadful day. Also don’t forget the courageous firefighter Billy Burke who chose to stay with these men, lonely are the brave. In a few days it’ll be the 25th anniversary here and now in 2026. I was in the city when this happened and walked home that morning like many others. R.I.P to all who died.
Thanks for your note
There were so many heroes on that tragi. Day
Gregory, I have reposted Abe and Ed’s story, with your kind comment, to my blog at http://www.creekbank.net
Best wishes and peace on this day of remembrance
