Gov. Kathy Hochul directed that flags on all state government buildings be lowered in honor of Kevin M. Robert, a long-time flight paramedic, who passed away in the line of duty last week. Flags will be flown at half-staff on Thursday, Sept. 4, from sunrise to sunset.
“Kevin Robert answered the call to serve his community and provided aid in a time of need to countless New Yorkers throughout his career as a paramedic,” Hochul said. “Today we are sending our deepest condolences to his loved ones, his colleagues, and the entire Mechanicville community as they honor his life and legacy.”
Robert was a certified flight paramedic and had been employed for 15 years by the Air Method-Life Net of New York. He was a founder of the John Ahearn Rescue Squad in Mechanicville and was a paramedic for several ambulance services including the Clifton Park & Halfmoon Emergency Corps, and Malta-Stillwater EMS. He also was a paramedic instructor at HVCC.
