Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

On the 2nd anniversary of Officer Pekearo's death, we honored his service in our patrol briefing by reading his entry from ODMP. Each day, we honor one fallen officer on the anniversary of their death so as to keep them in our thoughts, and also to remind us of the dangers inherent in our job. Officer Pekearo is not forgotten.

Two years ago today. They dedicated the corner of Bleeker and Sullivan to Nick this afternoon. He grew up across the hall from me on Morton. He will never be forgotten. His mom and family are in my prayers.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 2nd anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect or love. Your memory will always be honored and revered. In reading the many loving reflections left, I can see that Nicholas was an amazing young man who is loved and missed by so many. I hold his family in my heart's embrace today and ask that God grant them solace.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the service Nicholas gave to his community and the citizens of New York, and the supreme sacrfice he and his family made on March 14, 2007.

Rest In Peace, Nicholas.

Hey Nick,
Not a day goes by without me thinking of you.
And with today being what would have been your
30th birthday it is even a harder day. I just wish you
were here so I could say "Happy Birthday".
Miss you bro.

Recently read Nicolas Pekearo's THE WOLFMAN. His editor included a salute of a foreword that briefly recounted the incidents in which unarmed officers Pekearo and Marshalik went against a heavily-armed murderous madman. Pekearo and Marshalik lost the breath of this corrupt world to breathe again in Limitless Pure Peace and Joy with the special welcome for those who have such great Love as to lay down their lives for their friends - having taken general Creation for their friends. MOST HONORABLE!!!

Nicholas Pekearo was a VERY fine writer: Think of Raymond Chandler or Walter Mosley doing very hard-boiled and supernatural. Wonderful metaphors and vivid, compelling characterizations. Nicholas Pekearo's other works ought to be published, THE WOLFMAN ought to be made into a movie by a director expert in modern Film Noir, and (I say this with all the depth and force of one from a family of a number of peace officers and a friend of highly talented writers struggling against the disease of pandemic viciousness that has taken over modern publishing) Nicholas Pekearo's own life ought to be shown respectfully on film for all to see, and the more remember the REAL protectors out there - not just adventure fantasies of page and screen, but the real, full, transcendantly generous lives on the line for us all.

GOD BLESS YOU ALL FOREVER IN EVERY WAY.

I happened upon Officer Pekearo's book "The Wolfman" in our local library and to my good fortune I decided to check it out.

All I can say is we lost one heck of a cop and a writer. I strongly urge anyone who hasn't read this book to get a copy.

RIP Officer Nick Pekearo. God Bless

I have just ordered Officer Pekearo's book for our Public Libary here in Brookline Massachusetts. When I read that he had been killed in the line of duty. What a wonderful young man and such a terrible loss for his family, friends, fellow police officers and the literary world. You all have my deepest sympathy. I look forward to reading his book and hope that it is of some comfort that he was able to have a novel published before his life was so cruelly cut short.

A year has gone by and not a moment has come that has brought an ounce of relief from the pain of losing Nick. The 1 yr memorial was beautiful and touching however I and I'm sure most that night would agree we'd rather have Nick,Eugene and Alfredo back in our arms if only for a moment.Nick RIP I will ALWAYS love you. "I've got you under my skin" now and forever until we meet again.

I want to let all Aux. know that we have your back and your selfless work in a selfish is appreciated!

All the condolences from the members of the 911-17's association, french police association.
This year, when we were in New York, for the 9/11, we thought about them who passed away so young.
It's a terrible tragedy, and a lot of french police officer were very disturbed by this history.
God bless NYPD.
