Hundreds came out Friday to pay their respects to a fallen Long Island hero.

Raguso was also a member of the FDNY and volunteer firefighter in Commack. He leaves behind a wife and two daughters.
The Kings Park Chamber of Commerce asked for donations to feed the firefighters and military members who attend Raguso's funeral Saturday. The Chamber of Commerce was seeking anything easy to eat or easy to drink. Donations can be brought to the Kings Park Fire Department.
The Chamber of Commerce was expecting around 20,000 people to be in Kings Park for the funeral.
There will be road closures in effect due to the funeral.
