Obituary
Send FlowersA Memorial House-Raising
Paul Beyer wanted a house. A house with a chimney. In Tottenville, Staten Island, the place where he and his wife were born and raised. So for two years, he laid the foundations for his dream: he got the necessary permits to tear down his mother-in-law's 100-year-old house, he got the blueprints from an architect, and he meticulously planned and designed every room of the two-family house that would one day be a home for him and his wife and their two boys and even his mother-in-law.
Last summer, he began to build. He had completed about 60 percent of the house when he died at the trade center. He was 37, a firefighter, a Scout leader, the father of two teenagers, Michael Paul, 15, and Shawn Patrick, 13, and, for 15 years, the husband of Arlene Beyer.
For about a week, Mrs. Beyer contemplated not finishing the house. "It was heartbreaking," Mrs. Beyer, 40, said. "I couldn't even go there."
Then she decided to go ahead. "We knew we had to finish the dream," she said. Scores of firefighters, all friends and colleagues of her husband's from Engine Company 6, are helping her. In the chimney, one of the firemen will carve a Maltese Cross, the symbol for firefighters.

It's been almost 20 years Brother. I still miss you every day. This time of year is hard for me, and my Mom even came to speak to me the other morning, and she has been dead for over 2 years. I am not sure what she was saying, but it had some meaning. I miss you, and maybe I will see you soon.

Just got done climbing 110 flights of stairs in honor of Paul. I didn't know anything about him upon his name being given to me. After researching him I am honored that I did it for him. I am a firefighter and I just completed building a home for me and my family just like Paul was doing. We will never forget you and your comrades Paul!

I have the special honor of walking for Mr. Paul Beyer this coming Sept. 11th at the 9-11 Red Rocks Climb in Colorado. I cannot imagine the incredible loss his family has experienced. As a mother and wife I will say a prayer for his family and loved ones. I hope and pray that his family and friends are comforted even just a little knowing that Paul will not be forgotten.
