Alan Feinberg's penchant for helping came naturally, if not effortlessly.
A firefighter for 19 years, Mr. Feinberg's helping hand was not limited to his work but was extended to anyone in need, from passers-by at his Midtown Manhattan firehouse to youngsters at his children's games.
"He was an excellent firefighter, but one of the things that distinguished Al is his enthusiasm, his endless energy," said George Maier, a chief at Battalion 9 who worked with Mr. Feinberg for the past five years. "Whether it was somebody looking for directions, locked out of their car, or just asking for the time, Al could not do enough to help anybody with any type of problem."
So when terrorists struck the World Trade Center, Mr. Feinberg did not hesitate to race to the scene. He, along with 14 others from his firehouse, hasn't been seen since. Maier said 32 men from the battalion remain missing and are presumed dead.
A memorial service for Mr. Feinberg, 48, will be held at 8:15 p.m. today at Marlboro Jewish Center at Schoolhouse and Wyncrest roads in Marlboro. The family will receive friends from 7:15 p.m. until the time of the service.
Born in Brooklyn, Mr. Feinberg moved to Marlboro 16 years ago. He was an assistant battalion chief, responsible for most of the administrative duties concerning the five fire companies that make up Battalion 9.
As much as he was devoted to his firefighting duties, Maier said his colleague was equally enthusiastic about his time with his children. "He was a proud father, and believe me, we heard it after each game."
That pride was not lost with his daughter, Tara, who at age 17 wrote a moving essay about her father as a hero for an application to the University of Florida in Gainesville, which she now attends.
"My father has taught me the true meaning of a hero," wrote Tara, now 18. "It amazes me how someone can have such an unyielding desire to help others, even when there is a constant risk of the danger involved. Even when my father is not fighting fires, he is altruistic in other ways. If there is an accident on the road, he will always stop to administer first aid and call the police. My father is the first one to run onto the field at a soccer game to make sure the player is not seriously hurt."
As much as she was proud of her dad's work, she also said she realized his job was a dangerous one, and knew one day he might not come home.
In addition to his daughter, Mr. Feinberg is survived by his wife of 23 years, Wendy; a son, Michael; his parents, Harold and Sylvia Feinberg of Brooklyn; and a sister, Ilene Kustin of Brooklyn.
In lieu for flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Alan Feinberg Family Fund, P.O. Box 883, Manalapan, N.J. 07726.

We did not know the Feinberg
We did not know the Feinberg family before 9-11 however we have come to know and love Wendy Tara and Michael and consider them part of our family. We only wish we could have known Alan as we would have been able to tell him how wonderful his family is and how much they loved him.

Former Little League Coach
Coach Alan was the assistant coach on my little league team at Marlboro Little League many years ago, maybe 26 or 27 years ago. I remember him as a great coach, and a really kind man. I was broken hearted years ago when I learned of his passing. I'll normally search his name every year on or around the 9/11 anniversary and it's tough not to get choked up. Today was no different. Went to Middle School with his son, hope you are doing well Michael.
