Lieutenants Curtis Meyran and John Bellew were killed jumping from a fourth-floor apartment window during a Bronx fire on January 23rd, 2005.

Richard Sclafani also died fighting a fire in Brooklyn that day, which has become known as "Black Sunday."

At a memorial service Friday, families and colleagues said the men are always in their thoughts.

"Every day I walk into the firehouse, I think of the three guys that were killed that day," said colleague Brendan Crawley, who survived the Bronx blaze by jumping. "They were my motivation for going back to work, and they helped me get back there."

Although Cawley has been able to return to work, fellow firefighter Eugene Stolowski has not. He tore ligaments between his skull and spine in the fall. At one point, the only thing connecting them was his spinal chord.

"I wanted to be a fireman, since I was a kid. And a day like today reminds you that what you lost, you can't do that job anymore. I can't fight fires anymore," he said.

Stolowski has been able to continue working with the FDNY family assistance unit, which helped his family when he was not able to.

Both Stolowski and Cawley are expected to testify against two building tenants, the landlord, and the owner who are all on trial for manslaughter for deaths of Meyran and Bellew.

The trial was canceled Friday morning because of the service; it was suspended for the entire day when a juror became ill.

Although so much time has passed, Cawley says he is prepared to relive those painful memories on the witness stand.

"I remember everything I went through that day, from the second I got up that morning to the second I landed in the backyard on the ground," he said. "I remember every single detail about it."

It's not clear when Cawley and Stolowski will be recounting those details in court. for the day because of the service and a sick juror.
