The Five Towns and nearby communities lost seven people that Tuesday in 2001. Thomas Jurgens, 26; Neil Levin, 47; Kevin O’Rourke, 44; Bettina Browne Radburn, 49; Joseph Rivelli Jr., 43; Howard Selwyn, 47; and Ira Zaslow, 57, were remembered on Sunday as were those who have died since from 9/11-related illnesses.
The ceremony began with a presentation of colors from the Lawrence-Cedarhurst Fire Department Color Guard followed by speeches from elected leaders, including Mayor Benjamin Weinstock.
The Lawrence High School Vocal Ensemble, all of whom were not born when the attack occurred, sang their hearts out to commemorate the victims and the first responders who perished.
