Staff Sgt. Slutman, 43 and a 15-year FDNY veteran, most recently with Ladder Company 27 in the South Bronx, was killed April 8 along with Cpl. Robert A. Hendricks, 25, of Locust Valley, Nassau County, and Sgt. Benjamin S. Hines, 31, of York, Pennsylvania. All three were members of the 25th Regiment, 4th Marine Division, Marine Corps Reserve.
