A LaGuardia Airport worker cops say was killed in a Queens crash by a speeding, drunk-and-high FDNY firefighter was remembered Tuesday as a dependable Starbucks-loving friend who always did the little things. Friends and family filled an Astoria church to pay their final respects to Justin Diaz, whose luxury sedan was T-boned by a red light-running off-duty firefighter at 107th St. and Northern Blvd. in East Elmhurst, according to police.
