Governor Andrew M. Cuomo has directed that flags on state government buildings be flown at half-staff on Tuesday, November 5, in honor of former Getzville Fire Company Chief and President Irving Isenberg, who died from an illness resulting from his work at the World Trade Center site following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001.
"Chief Isenberg dedicated his life to serving his community and fellow New Yorkers and put his own well-being at risk in the wake of one of the darkest tragedies in our nation's history," Governor Cuomo said. "His passing is a reminder of the great heroism of our first responders on that day and every day that followed. On behalf of all New Yorkers, I extend our deepest gratitude to Chief Isenberg and direct flags be flown at half-staff to honor his memory."
