Though firefighter Kevin Prior died over six years ago when responding to the September 11 attacks at the World Trade Center in 2001, a struggle over his FDNY pension has gone to court.
Prior's parents do not think his then-fiancee Doreen Noone should be entitled to half the $75,000 annual pension. They tell the Post it's not really about money, but have the "truth" "acknowledged:
The Priors concede that the young couple was engaged, with a wedding date set for July 12, 2002, an $8,000 ring on Noone's finger and contracts in place for a photographer, a church and a reception.Noone says she's sickened by the fight, "I just want to get recognition that I was almost married to Kevin... I understand his parents lost a son, but I lost my fiancé. We dated for four years. We got engaged in May [2001]." Noone is now engaged to Prior's best friend, a police officer.But the parents have accused Noone of lying to the Fire Department that the pair lived together, so that she might have a better shot at winning the $37,600 annual payout from the pension board.
Noone's lawyer points out the Priors have received $1.5 million from the Victim's Compensation Fund. If his client is awarded half the pension, she would receive $262,000. The two parties are expected back in court on May 29, since they did not reach a settlement yesterday.





Unseemly is a word that comes to mind.
her last name is Noone? He should have just left his estate to nooone...
The 9/11 Victims Compensation Fund is just one big joke--and a bad one at that.
More often than not, it prompted a bunch of greedy people to come crawling out of the woodwork.
Tacky.
this is disgusting. i bet anne coulter is proud of them.
they shouldn't get any money. all of these people should stfu & stop trying to profit off this guy's death.
It's always about the green stuff.
girl - whore
parents - greedy
best friend - piece of shit
nice story for memorial day weekend
For Christ's sake let the woman have the fucking money. A couple of dried up old prunes want every last penny for what?
Every engagement doesn't always lead to the wedding alter. A catering hall manager once told me one-third of the wedding receptions don't take place on schedule, but they keep the huge deposits anyway.
engaged to his best friend?
sounds like a cunt to me.
Noone? She was just a 'nooner'.
I am horrible for noting on this, but it fascinates me that her name is noone. as in NoOne.
See.
First, his mother gave birth to him, his folks lost a child. Fiancee knew him a whole 4 years? Whoo hoo.
Second, wtf? She's got the 8 grand engagement ring and probably a new one from the bf. She should get more????
Were Kevin to have a grave, he'd be rolling over in it in disgust.
