On today, the 50th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just as a Law Enforcement Officer but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Officer Baranowski, it's now 46 years since your senseless murder. Your name lives on. It's so sad that you didn't.

God Bless, Brother and may your eternal rest continue to be peaceful.

Al or Tot as he was known to his family was a wonderful man and father. He was my godfather and my first memories of him are when he played hockey for the Boston Olympics team. I still think of him a lot and remember working for him when he had a dry cleaning business in East Walpole before he worked for the prison.It was a sad day when we heard he had been shot at work. He had served in WW2 and survived that.

Corrections Officer Baranowski, thank you for all your efforts to keep criminals away from society while they serve their sentences. I know it's a difficult job and women and men like you are heroes for doing it.
I cannot say I take joy in the fact that the scum who killed you first killed the very woman who brought the gun to him, but I cannot lie and say I feel bad either. I do feel somewhat bad that the scum in question took his own life instead of facing the court. Then again, it’s Massachusetts; he may very well have been given a suspended sentence and freed. I guess justice was served in a sad way.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
