Widow of MLB pitcher-turned- cop killed in crash on way to 9/11 ceremony to receive full benefits
Briefly

The family of Anthony Varvaro, who died in a car crash while heading to a 9/11 ceremony, will receive full death benefits after previously being denied.
Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation to grant Anthony Varvaro's widow and children the accidental death benefit, emphasizing the need to honor public servants.
'While nothing can replace him, it is comforting to know that his passing en route to protect Ground Zero received the recognition it deserved,' the family stated.
Legislation was spearheaded by State Sen. Jessica Scarcella-Spanton and Assemblyman Charles Fall to overturn the state’s initial rejection of benefits for Varvaro's family.
