A Brooklyn firefighter who drowned as he tried to save his son during a family vacation in Nevada was remembered yesterday as a heroic man who loved his family.
"I don't know what I'm going to do without you," Martin Simmons' wife Judy wrote in a letter read aloud during the funeral service in Nesconsett, LI.
"I promise to always take care of our boys. I will hold you in my heart and meet you in my dreams. I love you. Goodbye," she wrote.
Simmons, 41, a 17-year FDNY veteran who worked out of Bedford-Stuyvesant's Ladder Co. 111, died July 25 after diving into the choppy waters of Lake Tahoe in an attempt to rescue his 10-year-old son, Kevin, who was saved by lifeguards.
