FF Bob Beckwith, from Baldwin, New York, was 69 years old and retired for seven years after serving with the FDNY for three decades when on Sept. 14, 2001, he raced to Ground Zero to help with the search and rescue efforts. This iconic moment with President Bush at Ground Zero on 9/11 helped rally the nation during this dark time and served as a symbol for first responders everywhere. He inadvertently became a part of history with his picture plastered across newspapers and TV screens all over the world. This picture made it onto the cover of Time magazine.
It is with deep sorrow the Uniformed Firefighters Association announces the passing of FF Bob Beckwith of L164. Bob is one of the heroes of 9/11 who stood tall for America, New York City and all New Yorkers, he spent many hours searching for the members we lost on that fateful day in 2001. A man of true dignity and is beloved by the UFA and the department for all of his sacrifice. Bob was 91 years old.
