Some of the men I remember are John "Bud" Van Wyen, His Father John of West Sayville.  Bud Van Wyen, the unofficial "Mayor of West Sayville," stands in front of his service station in West Sayville. The station was located where the West Sayville firehouse parking lot is. After Bud's death, the building was moved to the northeast corner of Lincoln Avenue and Montauk Highway, in the shopping center parking lot, where it is used as the Chamber of Commerce Information Center. Undated photograph from the collection of Sayville Library. Walt Worthington from Riverhead and I am definitely prejudice when I say Bob Doucett from Greenport who gave his all for 27 years on the Department before his passing in 1961 |

Beaver, some of those guys definately belong in a NNY hall o fame, however there are a few I cant agree with, while they are great guys, I'm not sure what some of them on the list have really done above and beyond just "being around" for a long time.
Who are some of our best climbers, nozzlemen, hydrant men etc...? Jay, Stevie and Lyle, but who else?
Who are the guys from Deerfield that brought the first B-truck to Northern?
Who are the guys on some of the other multiple NNY championship teams that helped win all those times? Dexter, copenhagen, Louisville, Clayton etc...
Who are some of the record holders or teams that took points at states?
This could be a cool thread, lets get some northern history on here.

for NNYfan:
here's some State history from the North -
1965
West Carthage, 5th C-ladder
1968
Mohawk, 4th C-hose
Copenhagen, 4th Efficiency
1969
Holland Patent, 2nd C-hose
1976
Illion, 4th (tie) 3-man (already mentioned in earlier post)
From this State history alone it seems clear that the NNY HofF needs to be expanded beyond the 90-00's and back a few decades when northern teams really competed!! Several of the guys from Holland Patent certainly deserve mention! Many of the guys from the 60-70's ran for broke, practiced a couple times a week, lived and sweat racing!!

Good catch NNYfan - reinforces my opinion that Holland Patent deserves some props!! I think we need some input from some of the 'older' guys from the north - most of what has been said is the new generation stuff. Like you point out, Lyle Sr. was an institution in Louisville. Bill Lortie was a LONG term hydrant man in Copenhagen. Guys from those days didn't just come and go, they were around and running year after year!
Let's hope some other folks have input...
