A New Haven firefighter who died while responding to a blaze last week was celebrated across Connecticut.
The remembrance of Ricardo Torres Jr. started with a funeral mass in New Haven. It included a brave testimonial from his pregnant wife Erica Martinez, who’s also left caring for their 11-month-old son.
“…Rick, I’m angry. I miss you. I don’t care about you being a hero or not,” Martinez said. “You’re supposed to go to work, do your job, and come home.”
Martinez was able to smile and laugh a few times during her eulogy, like when she remembered how her first date with Torres some six years ago ended.
