Monroe — 2:32 p.m. -- A State police sergeant who gained a reputation for earning the trust of the Village of Kiryas Joel community died yesterday morning at his home from medical-related conditions, police said.
Major Ed Raso of State police Troop F headquarters said he would not have details about the cause of Sgt. Warner Hein's death until the autopsy. The 20-year veteran of the State police, was found in his bed at 7:45 a.m. from a ''medical-related'' cause, Raso said.
Hein,44, started his career with the State police's Kingston-Highland barracks before being promoted to sergeant and then zone sergeant in 2004 at the barracks in Monroe. He quickly gained the trust of his superiors as a go-between with the community leaders of Kiryas Joel, the ultra-orthodox Hasidic community in Monroe.
''He was our go-to guy when we had anything to do with KJ,'' Raso said. ''It's not going to be easy to replace him. He defined the role.''
Kiryas Joel's Village Administrator Gedalye Szegedin described a ''down-to-earth'' law enforcement officer, who despite his rank and many years of experience on the force, frequently went out into Kiryas Joel to develop relationships with its residents. An astute observer of the cultural and linguistic differences of the Satmar Hasidim, he earned the trust of the residents, as well as displayed a concern for Kiryas Joel's vulnerability in a region sometimes hostile to the village.
''He became a household name in the KJ community, and wer'e very grateful for that,'' Szegedin said.
Hein was an avid photographer and golfer, organizing an annual fundraiser golf tournament in memory of troopers who died in the line of action. He was a also a former high school football player in the Town of New Paltz, where he grew up and eventually settled.
A wife and a 4-year-old son survive him.

Monroe – The State Police Troop F zone sergeant at the Monroe Barracks collapsed and died while shoveling snow at his home New Paltz, a State Police Troop F Commander Major Ed Raso said. Sgt. Warner Hein, who was the zone sergeant at the Monroe Barracks and was with the State Police for 20 years, was shoveling snow around 7:30 a.m. today when he collapsed and died of an apparent heart attack, the spokesman said. Hein was 44 years old and the brother of Ulster County Administrator Michael Hein.
"The loss is immeasurable to Kiryas Joel and the Greater Jewish community of New York - and above all to every man and woman in the New York State Police," Rabbi Bernard Freilich said. ''His work, his courage, his compassion, was just unmatchable,'' he said. The Rabbi said Hein was a person ''who understood the community, had vast knowledge of our communities' complex laws and customs, and was a man who was always there when needed.''
Sgt. Hein was an avid sportsman and a former New Paltz High School football player. |
