Donald Regan Obituary
The post office people in Pine Bush, N.Y., knew Donald Regan well. Every Saturday, he mailed parcels to the two of his four children who did not live nearby. He took requests: an old pair of baseball cleats; the spaghetti sauce he and his wife made and canned; money. Sometimes just a letter. He had always kept close tabs on his family. "If there were four sporting events at one time, he would be there for an inning of each game," said his son Shane.
Donald Regan was a firefighter from Rescue Company 3, a 17-year veteran who knew every tool and was considered fearless by his squad mates. His sleep was so deep that he had to fall asleep in the firehouse kitchen so the alarm would wake him, and he was famous for drifting off in the most contorted positions.
"He was the consummate blue-collar person," Shane Regan said. "He worked until he couldn't work any more. He made sure everybody else was taken care of." For his drive to work, his son added, he would buy clunkers with at least 100,000 miles. "My dad was famous for having nasty cars. He called them classics." But with his brood out of the house, he had bought himself a 2001 Chrysler Sebring, and he washed it as if that were his paying job. "He finally broke down and said, `Now I'm going to do something for myself.' "

I never had the privilege to know you. But I knew your daughter years ago so I know you were a great man and father without knowing of the sacrifice you made for us all. I have told my children about you as well as my wife and I am honored that I knew a small part of your world

Donald, today I walked with your name on my shirt at the 1st annual 9/11 memorial walk at Disneyland, California. As I walked I touched your name and walked in silence to pay honor and respect to the ultimate sacrifice you gave to save victims. As they fought to flee the flames by running out, you ran in. You are a hero. My your family be blessed and continue your legacy.

I met Jimmy about 17 years ago when he was visiting Virginia from NYC. Since those were the days before facebook and iphones, I quickly lost touch despite forming a friendship. I had spent many years and many dead ends trying to find him to reconnect when I saw him on tv during a televised 9/11 memorial service. Every anniversary since then, I have always kept Jimmy and his family in my thoughts and prayers.
Jimmy, if you are reading this... I am so very sorry for your devastating loss. Your father was a true hero and the epitome of John 15:13. I will continue to pray for you and your family for as long as I shall live. I know the pain doesn't ever go away but I hope this brings you some comfort, even if only slightly.
Much love,
Kelly

Another year went by and we missed you at every gathering, and all the time. We went to the memorial to hear the names read with MoM as we do every year, we don't understand why you are gone but you will always be in our hearts. We are grandparents now, how much I wish you were here to share all the joy these children bring to us.
Much love, Eileen and all your brothers and sisters.

Another year has gone buy without my favorite shopping buddy at the Thruway Market. (which is no longer) You were amazing cooking for your family and co-workers. Don, Your family is growing with more grandchildren on the way. You would be so proud seeing how well Shane, Jimmy, Jill and Peter are doing with their families. I know I am. Give Bob a hug for me.

My Son at WTC
May 25, 2013
Just after 9/11 I got a memory bracelet with FF Donald Regan's name on it. I still have it to this day. I have been a volunteer for over 20 years and now my son carries on for me as a FF/Medic. I used to be in touch with Kathy through another site but lost touch with her when I went for a while with no computer access. I have tried for quite some time to re-connect with her or connect with Peter to see how the Family is doing. Please know that Donald and all who were lost on that day are not forgotten nor will they be. We hold Memorial services near the anniversary date and my son & his wife went to NY last summer. While there, they visited one house (I forget which one) that was very friendly to them while others not so much. My son stood at the WTC site with awe in his eyes and layed his FD shirt right there by the reflecting pool. This picture made tears come to my eyes once again. Hope you all are doing well and just know that I am thinking of Donald and you all. Take Care, Cathy Moore, Southampton County, Virginia.

Dear Dad,
10 years. It went by fast. You have two beautiful grand daughters with two more babies on the way. I hope you watch over them all. What struck me today was that these kids will have no concept of who you were and how your actions affected their lives. I will do my best to educate them about who you were and what our family was like. I want my kids to know that their Dad is who he is because he took so many lessons from you. Keep watching over us. I miss you

I can still picture you behind the bar in mahoneys, how happy and in love you were with your "Bride" and what a proud dad you were, those football sundays, memories of a real stand up guy. You will never be forgotten, always in our prayers as are your family.

Today on September 10 2011, the Chicago Fire Department's "Ignite the Spirit" fundraising organization held a 9/11 Memorial Stairclimb. This event was held at the Aon building in downtown Chicago. Each participant ascended 80 stories to complete the course, and was assigned the name and photo of one of the 343 firefighters who made the ultimate sacrifice a decade ago. My name is Jim Foszcz. I am a Lieutenant on the Chicago Fire Department and finished the climb. Donald J. Regan is who I had on my numbered bib for the climb. I was honored and proud to have been able to bear this man's name today. Ten years later, a brother I never met, walked with me in my heart, thoughts and prayers up eighty floors. My hope is that any loved ones reading this will know that Firefighter Regan is remembered.

We miss you Uncle Donnie. I remember fondly the summer I spent with my cousins and you upstate. I was in 8th Grade and so was Shane. I especially loved the trip to the firehouse and how you and the guys jokingly said you'd leave me behind "in the hood" to do an investigation. What a great summer and what a great guy you were. I can't think of 9/11 and that day without wondering if you were OK. I was so sad to find out that you didn't make it. I know you're in heaven looking down on us and checking the smoke alarms and still putting tons of salt on whatever you eat up there! You and your family are in my prayers. Love your newphew, Chris

Dear Dad,
Nine years. Unfortunately I feel like we spend more time remembering that fateful day instead of the people we lost before they died. I have promised myself that I will tell my kids about their grandfather. i will tell them how he taught me to play baseball, how he called me pal for my whole life, how he grew as a person even as an adult, and how he treated his family right up until the last day. I will tell them that you were my hero long before you were every one else's. I think about you all the time and hope you are looking down upon us and you like what you see.
Love Shane

Hey Donny, i'm here at the firehouse and we just finished slicin' and dicin' and prepping all of the food for tomorrow. we wanted to make sure that we have everyhing ready. Tonight we sent out for pizza as we decided to take the easy route for a change. You always said, "i'd be happy with a can of soup and a box of saltines". There's something to be said about that. It's almost impossible to believe that we are on the eve of the 9th anniversary of that very dark day. Not a day goes by that i don't think of you somehow. Whether it's when i misplace something and then it just seems to appear or when certain songs come on the radio at just the right time. I always look up and say "Thanks Don". There's no way that these are coincidences. You probably didn't know it back then how much of a help you were to me, but i know that you know it now. Miss you my friend.

Donald, you are never forgotten. Mom, Peg,Allison, Jonathan and Greg went with me to the NYC Memorial to hear your name, and the names of all who were with you and lost that day. You would not be surprised that your mother climbs the subway stairs and walks in the rain to remember you. How we wish you could be here to enjoy your children and grandchildren, and also to know my grandchildren and Peg's and Kathies and all those who surely are coming in the future.

Dear Dad,
Here I am at work on the 8th anniversary of your death. I go to work each year because I think that is what you would have wanted of me and everyone else for that matter. It is sad though that the memorials are getting smaller, the ceremonies more scarce. I know you and you colleagues wouldn't mind but it feels wrong to me because it seems like life is moving on a little too much for me.
And for the first time in a long time I am angry. I am angry because you aren't here to meet your two granddaughters. I am angry because I can't tell you in person that I finally see what being a Dad is all about. It is the greatest gift a man can have.
Anyway, I want you to know that for the first time in my life I can say I am happy. I have a wonderful wife and the most glorious baby, Caileigh. Everyone says what a great baby she is. I think she gets that from me.
I hope that, wherever you are, you see that we are all trying to make the best of things and we do our best to look out for Mom.
I'll always love and miss you Dad

I hate that the holidays are coming and your not hear..I hate that your going to be a grandfather again and your not here. And I dislike even more that i cant talk to you the way we use to. I miss you. It is still a struggle every day with you being gone. I still wake up some days thinking it is just a dream and your going to call and tell me to check the smoke alarms. I do hope one day I can be that happy again. Im trying dad I really am. I miss you I love you...
