Roslyn residents walked in honor of the victims of drunk driving on Saturday.
Friends of 14-year-olds Ethan Falkowitz and Drew Hassenbein organized the walk in their memories.
The rising tennis stars from Roslyn were killed in an alleged DWI crash last May.
Ethan's father encouraged the crowd of his late son's classmates to never forget his son and to make the right choices.
He is advocating for a law in his son's memory called the "grieving families act" which would allow family members to seek damages for grief caused by a loved one's death.
The bill is expected to be brought up again this legislative session.
