On the 10 year anniversary of 9/11 I went to the Giants game in SF and was given your name on a card as a token of rememberance... I thought it was only right to look you up and learn who you were so that I may not forget you....

In Solemn remembrance of John J. Tipping II. As we approach the tenth anniversary it seems like yesterday. We will never forget 9-11. It was a terrible terrible day that will be seared in memory forever. Our love, prayers and respect to the Tipping Family, who in our book are also heroes as they have been left to carry onward.

“L.I., firefighter John Tipping 2nd was remembered for hopping a fire truck to the twin towers site from Ladder 4 at Eighth Ave. and 48th St. — even though he been placed on sick leave just hours before for an eye injury suffered in another fire incident.
Tipping, 33, was one of 15 members of Ladder 4 to die.
The Rev. John McNamara, Tipping’s cousin, said: ‘He did not have to answer that call, but he did. But any one of you who are firemen know why John got on that truck. In the evening of his life, John was judged by love,’ said the priest, ‘and he was not found wanting.’
His girlfriend, Kristin Costic, told the church packed wall-to-wall with firefighters and friends that she and John were ‘partners in crime.’ ‘Most of all John and I were best friends. I had the pleasure of being the one he chose to share (his life) with.’
He leaves his father, John, a retired firefighter, his mother, and three sisters.”

“Fighting fires didn’t scare John Tipping II. It was the thought of not fighting them that terrified him. After passing the department’s physical and written exams, Tipping failed the color-blindness test. ‘He was frightened,’ said his sister, Maureen Tipping of Port Jefferson Station. ‘He wanted to get on that department.’
Although Maureen, a nurse, went down to Ground Zero on September 11 to serve the city as her brother did, she said the job of tutoring John was more frightening. Providing eye-washes for rescue workers was something she knew how to do. But failing to help John was something she feared. If her lessons hadn’t been successful, John could not have followed his father, John Tipping, a 37-year veteran, into the department. But he passed the test, joining Manhattan’s Ladder 4 in 1995. ‘It was meant to be,’ Maureen Tipping said.
Vinny Schwarting of Hauppauge, a friend since elementary school, said, ‘I remember when John would talk about being a New York City firefighter, how his eyes would light up.’
On September 11, John Tipping’s eyes again decided his fate. Out on a call the night before, he suffered a corneal abrasion from debris and returned late, after being treated at a hospital. So he slept at the firehouse instead of commuting to Port Jefferson. He was walking out Ladder 4′s door Tuesday morning when he heard the radio and turned around. Another sister, Stephanie Tipping of Hauppauge, said that John, like any dedicated firefighter, wouldn’t have had it any other way.”

Post your memorial thoughts:
Share your feelings and memories of grief and
sadness concerning the 9-11-2001 attack, or of positive memories. If you knew this
person, help us to build a small 'bio' of the person and share with
us something about his/her life:
- what kind of person he/she was,
- what nice points you remember about him/her,
- what kind of relationship you had with him/her,
- what you two perhaps did together,
- what he/she meant to you,
- or other things about him/her might be especially encouraging
for other people.
This web site is intended solely as a means of allowing all of us to express our grief and sympathy in behalf of the people who lost their lives, and also our love and compassion towards those who lost loved ones and friends in the 9/11/01 tragedy. The site is strictly for memorial mentions of those who passed away in the tragedy, not of other people who have passed away.
Our hearts are very touched with concern in behalf of those people, and it is to them that we dedicate this web site. It is not our intent to venture into the realms of WHO should face judgement, to take responsibility for those terrible events, because we have no way of knowing for sure who all might fall into that category. Therefore, any letters or notes written passing judgment upon any person or group will not be published on this site. We do NOT want this site to be a base for expressions of hatred, but only for expressions of LOVE!
9-11Heroes.us is a personal effort, not a business, nor is the site dedicated to any specific person or persons. We will not post negative comments. Moreover, 9-11Heroes.us reserves the right to choose which comments to post and also to edit the comments for spelling, punctuation, grammar, or edit comments that are unkind or offensive in some manner. We are maintaining this site with our own money and time. We try to keep the advertisements to a minimum and we try to make them as unobtrusive as possible.
