One of the victims was 50-year-old Cecilio Adames, a loving father and husband. His wife and daughter rushed to Staten Island University Hospital, hoping he would pull through, but received the devastating news instead.

"He told me last night, he go fishing, one of the people. So, I not cancel, but I say, why you go over there? It's not time, the weather, you know," said his wife, Francisca Adames, adding, "Ten o'clock in the morning, I call him, I say, 'Everything OK?' He say, was a lot of wind, or, everything is dangerous. I say, 'Thank God you're not bringing my daughter,' all the time she go with him. He say, no, it's far away, like 25 mile. So, and then, disappear."

"He's that man, and everybody will remember him as that man, because he always risked his life trying to help other people," his daughter, Alisha Adames, said.

The Coast Guard says it is still searching for the sixth person who was on the boat, focusing on the area about five miles southeast of Breezy Point.

Although temperatures started to warm up in the city this weekend, water temperatures were still in the mid-30s Sunday.
