NEW YORK, Nov. 10, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Thanksgiving came early for heart recipient Richard Grehl--who got to say thank you to the family of the New York City firefighter whose death last December rescued Grehl from certain death.
- In those long months of recovering, he hoped to one day meet and thank his donor's family in person.
- On Thursday, he got his wish, when he and his family met the family of New York City Firefighter Billy Moon, at LiveOnNY's offices in New York City.
- Among those whose lives were also forever changed by Moon's selfless act of courage were two retired FDNY firefighters.
- Billy was always our hero at home, and these moments continue to confirm that he is a hero to others as well.
