Obituary
Send FlowersSpecial Plaque
Anthony Jovic videotaped his sons, Matthew, 10, and Peter, 9, at every swimming meet they entered. He went to their practices. And he took them along when he and his wife, Cynthia, went on a cruise in the Caribbean. And whenever he came home from work, the boys would rush up to him and say, "What did you do? Did you fight any fires?"
He was a 39-year-old lieutenant, studying for October's captain's exam. Though on the rolls at Ladder Company 34 in Washington Heights, he was assigned on Sept. 11 to Engine Company 279 in Red Hook in Brooklyn, and was among the first men to arrive at the World Trade Center.
At Ladder Company 34, Capt. Arthur DePew recalled, Lieutenant Jovic is also noted for a kind of remembrance that predates videotape ‹ the brass plaques in firehouses that honor men who died in the line of duty. He did research on some who had never been remembered, like Eugene J. Caffrey, who died in 1921. Next Sept. 11, a plaque will go up with Lieutenant Jovic's name.
As for the boys, Mrs. Jovic still takes them regularly to swimming and meets, but she says, "Their hearts aren't in it."

His incredible sacrifice for the FDNY on September 11th should always be commemorated.

Jovic Family
My name is Ed Bujan and I am retired 24 yr Air Force. Today I carried his name and photo 110 floors at the Tower of Americas in San Antonio, Texas. I was born and raised in the Bronx. I have read about Anthony because I wanted to know him as I walked up those stairs along with many Firefighters. He is a Hero to me and wanted to share this with you. He is not Forgotten. God Bless

He was the soul I was given to prayer for in the days following 911 in our home town of Hebron CT. We were at lost as to what we could do so a vigil was created. I have never forgotten him and every year I say a silent prayer for him and his family. May peace and faith be the strength that carries them through. I honor those who service so unselfishly. Many blessing to them and their families.

I was at the Motts Museum in Grove City, OH.(near Columbus, OH.) and I saw a wilted rose and a piece of paper with Anthony Jovic's name on it attached to a destroyed fire truck from 9/11. Was this in fact his truck?
My condolences for your family's loss. You are in our prayers.
