Carlos Lillo, 37, was an FDNY Paramedic based with Battalion 49, He had worked 16 years for FDNY EMS. His wife worked on the 64th floor of the North Tower & safely escaped just before the building collapsed, but they were unable to communicate with each other that morning, although both tried repeatedly.
Although they had gone to high school together, it wasn’t until 15 years later that they remet at a New Years Eve party and talked through the night until daybreak. Wanting to start a family, they had a scheduled appointment with a fertility doctor for later that week.
