Bobby Kilduff loved being a fire fighter. But more than anything, he loved being a dad.

Today, Frank Siller called his children to say @Tunnel2Towers will pay off their family home and support their education. I’m grateful for all they do for the families of our nation’s heroes.

[Sara Nelson @FlyingWithSara]

@IAFFPresident @IAFFofficial @LOCAL_718 @THE_PFFM We’re so sorry for your loss, Ed. Our thoughts are with you, Bobby’s family, and all of the @IAFFofficial family who love him.

[Edward A. Kelly @IAFFPresident]

Bobby Kilduff was one of our best.

For 24 years, Bobby served the people of Boston as a fire fighter, following in the footsteps of his father and grandfather. He was a Marine, a Jake through and through, and part of a family dedicated to serving others on and off the job. (1/3)
