Ronald George Hoerner
Towers Security Director Helped Woman From Fire

October 7, 2001

Ronald Hoerner was a month and a half away from celebrating his one-year wedding anniversary.

The plan was to have dinner at the Milleridge Inn in Jericho, where he and his wife, Barbara, had their wedding reception; then they would eat the saved top part of their wedding cake.

But none of that will happen, because the 58-year-old Queens native is missing in the World Trade Center tragedy. Hoerner was director of security at the trade center for Summit Security, his office situated in the B2 level of the south tower.

"We were very, very close," Barbara Hoerner said. "We did everything together and had our whole life to look forward to."

Barbara Hoerner was told that her husband's last moments were spent helping a woman out of the burning tower.

Born and raised in Richmond Hill and living in Long Beach before settling in Massapequa Park, Ronald Hoerner used to patrol the Wantagh Parkway as a Long Island Parkway police officer before the department merged with the state police in 1980. Promoted to investigator in 1993, he also worked in the forensic identification unit, was a public information officer, court liaison, and crime prevention officer before retiring in 1994 after 27 years of combined service.

An only child, he knew a great deal about cars. He collected them, washed his own every week and enjoyed car races. His '79 Datsun DX sits in the garage, with 25,000 original miles.

Although it is almost a month since the Sept. 11 attacks, his wife said, "I haven't accepted it because they haven't found him, and maybe after the memorial I'll hit a wall of reality."

She remembers him as a man who would look out for everyone and who always did the right thing. She saw him as a family man who always looked out for his three step-daughters and six grandkids from a previous family.

Barbara Hoerner thought that her husband was more at risk as a state trooper, not in a World Trade Center office.

"I'll be able to go on, but I'll never be the same," she said. "I felt I was meant to be with him."
