When a memorial service for Firefighters Michael Boyle and David Arce, best friends from their childhoods in Westbury, L.I. to their deaths during the Sept. 11 rescue efforts, was held on Nov. 5, 2001, Michael’s father, Jimmy Boyle, arranged for it to be at St. Patrick’s Cathedral, with Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Congressman Peter King, and ex-Gov.
