Patrick Boylan Memorial Softball Tournament on Saturday
The 10th Annual Men's Slow Pitch Softball Tournament held in the memory of a fallen FDNY firefighter and Lindy native - Patrick Boylan - is set for Saturday at  Firemen’s Park.

Organizer, and friend of the late Boylan, Bob Weiden said the "generous softball players who've come to this tournament year after year will be acknowledged."

Boylan was a 17-year veteran of the FDNY, and served at Ground Zero on 9/11 with Ladder Company Seven, where nine firefighters were killed that day.

He later died later died in 2002 at the age of 40 of apparent cardiac arrest during surgery for a varicose vein that was recommended by doctors well before 9/11, according to reports, and that he put off until well afterward.

Before his death Weiden said Boylan delayed his own surgery to help others.

The Patrick Boylan Memorial Softball Tournament was named in honor of him, and raises money for Lindenhurst families in need.
