A Patchogue man was crushed and killed by his 24-foot boat Saturday afternoon while trying to store it for the winter, Suffolk police said.

Edward Freitas, 62, was at his summer residence, a private community in Oakdale, when the Fiberglas boat shifted off blocks supporting the vessel and its trailer, police said.

A friend found Freitas at about 12:22 p.m., police said.

Freitas, a recently retired banker who lived in Patchogue in the winter months, was pronounced dead at the scene, police said.

That's pretty sad...

Especially after his recent retirement...

Gotta be more careful...

Our family will keep him in our prayers...
