A funeral was held for the man who died in Friday's crane collapse in TriBeCa.
38-year-old David Wichs was killed after the crane fell on him on Worth Street.
Wichs lived on the Upper West Side. He was a Harvard graduate who emigrated from then-Czechoslovakia to the United States when he was a teenager.
At the funeral today, friends and family we spoke described him as cheerful, kind and humble.
"Just always a smile, always happy to help just always part of the group, part of the gang," said friend Shaun Steigman.
"I think families are broken when this happens and it'll heal ultimately but only partly, it can't I mean every time I think of him I think of my own three sons and I worry every single time," said Jacob Brandler, who was Wichs' high school mentor.
Three others were injured by falling debris from the collapse.
