Group pays mortgages of fallen state trooper, firefighter

BOSTON (AP) — A foundation that supports the families of first responders and military personnel who have died in the line of duty has paid off the mortgages of a firefighter and a state trooper from Massachusetts as part of its annual Season of Hope campaign.

The Tunnel to Towers Foundation this week paid off the mortgages of the families of trooper Thomas Clardy and Newburyport firefighter Brett Burkinshaw.

Clardy, 44, was killed in March 2016 on the Massachusetts Turnpike in Charlton when he was struck by a vehicle during a traffic stop. He left behind a wife and six children.

“The holidays can be a difficult time for my children without their father,” his wife, Reisa, said in a statement. “Having the mortgage paid off during the Season of Hope helps us to have faith, joy and happiness during the holiday season.”
