Steven Sorger died on March 11, 2017, from complications of lung and heart disease related to his response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center.
As an FDNY lieutenant, he spent months working at Ground Zero. He retired a year later due to medical issues.
A street in North Bellmore, where he was a longtime resident, has been renamed in his honor.
