The Town of Oyster Bay recently welcomed the family of Fire Department of New York (FDNY) Firefighter Thomas W. Anderson Jr. to Town Hall to announce the ceremonial dedication of a street in the name of this fallen hero. Firefighter Anderson, a Syosset resident, passed away at just 61 years of age after a courageous 9-year battle with 9/11-related cancer. He answered the call of duty to help fellow Americans at the World Trade Center on 9/11, and then worked on search and recovery efforts at Ground Zero in Manhattan. “The Town of Oyster Bay never forgets its hometown heroes, and we are proud to
honor the life and service of Firefighter Thomas W. Anderson,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Thomas loved his community, his city and his country and will always be remembered for his bravery. This street, in the community where he lived for many years, will forever serve as a reminder of his sacrifice and his extraordinary life. When people pass by this block, they will remember Firefighter Anderson as an exemplary first responder who gave his life to save others.” The Town Board proclaimed Tuesday, August 13, 2024 as “Firefighter Thomas W. Anderson Day” in the Town of Oyster Bay.
