He seems to have been a fine man.

A Colorado paramedic who came to New York City to save lives before losing his own to the coronavirus will be forever honored in a memorial to medical workers who answered the city’s 911 call to the rest of America, Mayor Bill de Blasio said Friday.

De Blasio said at his daily news briefing that he learned of Paul Cary’s death the previous day, and “it really hit me.”

“There’s something particularly painful when someone does the right thing, a fellow American comes from across the country to try and help the people of New York City and while working to save lives here gives his own life. It’s very painful. It’s heroic,” the Democrat said.
