Brother, you have now been gone 172 years and your efforts have not been forgotten. Even if there is never a reflection left again, your sacrifice will be remembered. On the anniversary of your death and the LOD of any member of the BPD, you are mentioned and remembered on every frequency of the Boston Police on the date of that sacrifice.

God Bless you and may you remain at peace in your eternal rest, Brother.

It's been 158 years since your death. Many men and women have joined you and taken over the watch in Heaven giving you time to finally get the rest you've earned. Each loss is painful but God needs the best to keep Heaven safe.

Rest in Peace, Brother.
