North Hempstead Town Supervisor Jennifer DeSena announced that North Hempstead Town Hall in Manhasset was lit up ‘tennis ball yellow’ on the evening of May 8 in remembrance of Roslyn Middle School students and passionate tennis players Drew Hassenbein and Ethan Falkowitz, whose lives were tragically cut short when they were killed by an alleged drunk driver.
“This is truly a tragedy and my heart aches for the families and friends of Drew and Ethan,” Supervisor DeSena said. “Make no mistake, drunk driving is a selfish act, and should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, but we must continue to do more so we can prevent a tragedy like this from ever happening again. Drew and Ethan will never be forgotten, and I pray for their family, friends, and our entire North Hempstead community as we grieve this unimaginable loss.”
