Hey Dan,

I know you are in heaven watching over us. Please help us and continue being our guardian Angel. Hey, Christmas is around the corner and I can't believe how time flies. so much has changed since you left us. People have moved on, others have passed but your memory will live with us forever.

Dan, I wanted to ask you if you have seen my Dad up in Heaven. He is the most sweetes man you will find. You can't miss him, he should be sitting right by God's side. In fact his name on this eath was Jesus. He is light skin, puggy face, has a smile that lights up ths skies and he even looks like Santa.

Hey Dan if you ever come across him please tell him that I love him. It has been 11 years and it feels like it was yesterday. Please give him a big hug for me and and tell him your my guardina angels.

Merry Christmas Buddy and have a great Birthday Celebration with the rest of the Angels.

Good Morning dear brother-in-law,

As everyone else, I cannot believe that 3 years have passed. It seems like yesterday that we received the tragic news of your accident. Ironically, this past Saturday, the 17th, I took a friend to the YNNH emergency room. When he called, I grabbed clothes and practically dressed as I was walking out the door. You must have known, because on my back, was the "Roll Call" sweatshirt that I purchased during my first visit to Nationl Police Week. As Derek lay in his bed, begging for relief from his discomfort, I found myself reflecting on the fact that there I sat, begging for your recovery, 3 short years ago. It still seems so unimaginable..... much has changed... and how the children have grown... It saddens us all to have lost Pauly recently, but at the same time, it comforts us to know that the two of you are together again. We love & miss you both so very much. XOXOXOXO

Dad, I can't believe today makes it 3 years since you were taken from us ! It feels like it was just the other day that I lost an important part of my life. Time is flying by but the memories of you are still here and always will be. I went to 2 yankees playoff games, just wasn't the same with out you right next to me. I still have the ticket stub from the last game we went to together. You are in a much better place now, probaly playing cards with Uncle Paulie. Continue to watch over our family, I miss you more then one can imagine and would do anything to be with you another day. I love you so much Dad !!!

Hey Dan,
It's been some time since I stopped by 2 leave a thought. So much has happened since you left us. Time has gone by so fast but the memories of you never go away.
You touched so many lives including mine with your kindness, ambition, love and passion for what you did that how can ANYONE 4get someone like you.

Please watch over all the New Haven kids that we worked with for I'm not there now to carry the torch.
It has almost been 3 years and it still feels like it was yesterday. Continue to be our guardian Angel please.

Your kids are growing so fast and following your foot steps. I am so proud of them.
October is a difficult month for me so please help me make it through. The good memories we shared with DEFY and all the work we did together will always be with me forever.
As your anniversary approaches again!! I can't believe it has almost been 3 years.

I will never forget you buddy/friend and co-worker.
The lives you touched will never be the same. I always keep your kids in my prayers for health, safety and strenght for it never becomes easier.

You will always be remembered and will continue to be our hero and guardian angel.

We miss you.....

Thinking of ya, what else is new. Nothing worse than hearing about such trajedy, i feel so bad for those families and the four officers who lost their lives. Provide them the strength they need to get through such a thing, as you did for us, so long ago. So much has changed but missing you will never get easier. Thomas made captain, varsity hockey team, can you believe it, I can cause one would think he is yours. He plays with determination and is so competitive, gee i wonder where he got that from, I know he truely misses you and thinks of you all of time, as do a bunch of us. Baseball is around the corner, and I know you'll be there, See you at the pit my friend. Missing you much and thinking of you often.
