Joe Russo: I had the pleasure of sharing an office with Jim during his years at Engine 254. Jim was always in top of things and kept everything running smoothly. He was very generous in sharing his deep knowledge of firefighting with the troops and kept them safe in the foreground. Jim was intensely loyal to the company, to the FDNY,,to his family and to the USA. We were one of the few fire stations with a flag displayed honoring those lost and missing service men and women.thanks to Jim’s efforts.
Jim will be missed by all . Please accept my deepest condolences to the entire Cooney family. Until we meet again Jim, rest in eternal peace.
