MANHASSET-LAKEVILLE Remembering Officer Chuck Karen Story and Photos by Lee Genser On September 10th, just days before the 15th Anniversary of the September 2001 terrorist attacks, members of Manhasset-Lakeville Fire Department gathered at Patriot’s Park in Manhasset as Officer Chuck Karen’s name was added to the monument erected there by the commissioners of the Manhasset Park District. Chuck passed away earlier this year from 9/11-related illness. Chuck was a police officer in the NYPD’s 73rd Precinct and spent countless hours at the World Trade Center site in the aftermath of the attacks.
