He lives in you
A Dyker Heights hero has a battalion of friends and family who want to keep his legacy alive.
On March 13, Firefighter Michael Behettes loved ones stood in front of members of Community Board 10s Traffic & Transportation Committee, testifying about renaming the corner of Fifth Avenue and 85th Street in his honor.
Behette died almost a year ago of lung cancer after having worked at Ground Zero, where it is believed he was exposed to toxins; his story has rapidly spread in his natal neighborhood and beyond.
