Joe was a 37-year-old Fire Department lieutenant at Ladder 101 in Red Hook‚ Brooklyn‚ NY. He was a devoted husband‚ father‚ son‚ brother and loyal and dedicated fireman. Joseph was a World War II history buff and loved reading biographies of generals from that period. His hobbies included his love of music and his dog ‘Lucy.’ He adored his wife Naoemi and daughters Amanda and Isabel. They were his great job in life. His senior officers have told us that Joe was an exceptional officer‚ always teaching and‚ above all‚ looking out for his men.
Joe had a style and grace that brightened our days‚ a laugh and smile that could win your heart. We miss him dearly.

I climbed for you today brother I’m 18 and just getting started at a Volunteer station in Arkansas. And I am ashamed to say I didnt make it the full 110 flights but it showed me something about you, you put the pain you were experiencing in your body as you placed that next foot on that next step behind you instead focusing on saving the lives of others. RIP Joseph Gullickson

So many lost their lives on 9/11. My son once was a fireman, first responder. I could only be thankful that my son was not one of the many who died that day.
In order for me to make it personal and to think of and pray for the families and friends of some of those heroes, I chose 5 names and pictures of those heroes.
I don’t know which website that I was on to choose the names and pictures, but I printed them and cut them out and mounted them on cardstock.
I just want you to know that your loved one, Joseph Gullickson, was one of the five that I have been thinking of for 20 years.
I also think of the families who, though they go on, never stop missing their loved one.
From me in North Carolina.
