Reflections for Patrolman Anthony N. Rizzato

For the past six years I have been assigned to a division that today houses more residents of housing project developments than any other city in the U.S. I constantly remind younger officers how compared to the infamous Cabrini-Green Housing Projects, back in the 1960's-1970's, things are not so bad here. Consideration was being given to me living with my sister and her husband in Chicago.

The summer of Your murder, I was visiting Chicago, passed Cabrini-Green on several occasions, and even attended the now discontinued College All-Star vs. Chicago Bears NFL preseason game. Shortly after Your murder, my brother-in-law was murdered by suspects who may have resided within Cabrini-Green....

Thank You for having served and may Your Soul Rest-In-Peace.
