Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

God.. I found a flyer to the motorcycle run putting my bike away for the winter. Wow does it sting, I remember that day in Marine Park just feeling numb with our brothers. I haven't been to Bay Terrace, talked to your folks or anyone from Vigilance, driven down the street, or passed by the field named after you in years since retiring. I checked out the boat but haven't seen the dog yet. To know that there are enough reminders so no one forgets you. Hopefully, it's comforting to your parents and others to know that Bostic is still at Greenhaven, Woods is at Elmira, Ellis is at Shawangunk and they will never leave nor breathe free air.

You are a true hero in every sense of the word. I watched your story tonight and touched by how many lives you affected. Most of all, your parents. A picture of them said it all; and my heart hurts for their loss. As an adoptive mother of a son from Ukraine who is also Russian, I just felt so much anger towards such reckless acts. May God be with you now where you rest in peace. Job well done. We are proud of you.

While I never knew you, I learned about your shooting on July 9th 2007 as I sat in the hospital holding my new baby born hours later. I mourned for you and your parents loss. Every year I think of you in July 9th and hope that I might be able to pay tribute to you at one of the places that memorializes you.

Sir, today I saw your picture for the first time in the stairs of the Police Academy, while going up and down and yelling "make way" all day long. I read how you died and it brought sadness to me. You were sworn to protect and serve, you did what you were supposed to do. Sir, you paid the ultimate price with your life. later on that day while doing endless laps on the gym floor I was very tired and I was about to give up, but just thinking of your tragedy it gave me strenght to continue. Sir, Rest in Peace you will not be forgotten.

Another year goes by and I remember that whole week and the pain we all suffered, the initial night with your mom in the hospital, that long week awaiting for test results and on July 14 coming to the hospital to say good bye to you.

It was a tragedy and you were a very good person. When I see your mother, I see my mother in her. It make's it so difficult to cope with this lose. YOU WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.
