I was so sad to hear about the passing of Kenneth Hettler. It was an honor and a pleasure to work with him when he was transferred to the Nassau County Emergency Ambulance Bureau. Ken was a fair boss, always there to guide us and appreciated the work that we did for him , and fair and understanding. He will be missed by all!
