Both crews entered the South Tower together. All 9 Firefighters perished when the Tower collapsed.
To date no remains have been recovered of Robert, and his mother Rose continues to fight for the removal of remains buried along with debris from the Towers at the Fresh Kills garbage dump on Staten Island.
