Warren J. Payne

Obituary

Two Boston firefighters were killed and at least 12 others were injured Wednesday night as flames rushed through a restaurant in West Roxbury, collapsing the roof and trapping crews inside, public safety officials said.

The two veteran firefighters who died, Paul J. Cahill, 55, of Scituate and Warren J. Payne, 53, of Canton, were identified by the officials and a firefighter on the scene. They were the first deaths of firefighters in a fire since 1994.

"Tonight is a very sad night for the city of Boston,” Mayor Thomas M. Menino said. "Two of our bravest have lost their lives in a fire in West Roxbury. Our prayers and offers of help are extended to the families of those two firefighters and the other firefighters who were injured in the line of duty. This is a dangerous job, and these firefighters answered the call."

It's been three years since you've left us and just wanted you to know that I miss you deeply. As kids growing up, you and I fought often, but we always knew that we loved each other. It's taken me a long time to return to this page and my heart still aches. About a month ago you came to me in my sleep and hugged me and looked down on me with those ever teasing eyes and your beautiful smile. I still talk with Patricia and every now and then we do hang out. She still loves you and will never...
