I want to introduce you to my friend Kristina Moon. Kristina lost her husband, Billy Moon, in the line of duty nearly a year ago. Billy was an FDNY firefighter and member and past chief of the Islip (Long Island) Volunteer Fire Department.

A Heartfelt First Meeting as FDNY Firefighter Billy Moon’s Wife and Children Meet Recipient of Billy Moon’s Heart Almost One Year After the Firefighter Became a Hero Again by Donating His Organs to Save Five Lives.

New York firefighter Billy Moon died last year in Brooklyn, in the line of duty, but on Thursday, his family got to hear his heartbeat again. Kristina Moon and Richard Grehl had an emotional, teary reunion Thursday night, even though they had never met.

Billy Moon’s two kids won’t get to spend Father’s Day with their hero dad, but two retired firefighters will enjoy the day with their families thanks to life-saving organs donated by their tragic FDNY brother.
