Captain Allen Rockyfrye
08/05/1970 - 03/25/2002
Capt. Frye was admired by all those in the fire
company, but especially by the cadre of probationary firefighters who remembered
him as someone who enjoyed taking younger firemen under his wing, while helping
them learn the basics of the job. In published reports, Capt. Frye's fellow
firefighters also remembered him as one of the fire company's more energetic
members. A plumber by trade, Capt. Frye showed up for duty at Roslyn Rescue
after completing a full day's work. He enjoyed taking part in pickup football,
basketball and softball games.
"Capt. Frye was a distinguished leader and a true gentleman," said Mr. Sendach.
"Our men and women, who lost a lovable role model last week and two others in
September, are doing all they can to make sense of this tragedy and are looking
for a way to move on with dignity in spite of it."
Near the end of the eulogy on Friday, Chief Liotta addressed Capt. Frye's ,
children. , Ashley, A.J. and Taylor Paige, your daddy loved Roslyn Rescue with
all his heart---as he did you. And we will be there for you with all of ours."
Capt. Frye's casket was brought out of the church before a sea of blue uniformed
men. County Executive Thomas Suozzi and Inspector George Morrish of the Nassau
County's 6th Precinct were among those who came to pay their respects. The day
before the funeral, Gov. George Pataki paid his respects to the Frye family by
attending the wake at the McLaughlin, Kramer, Meigiel Funeral Home in Glen Cove.
A final salute was given by a Nassau County Police helicopter, which performed a
ceremonial fly-by, buzzing the crowd. Capt. Frye was buried with full department
honors at the Locust Valley Cemetery.
