The loss of a loved one is never easy and for Office Cassidy's family and children I weep and mourn with you. I lost my father well before it was time.
I know you hear how brave and heroic your father is, but the love you his family have shown tells more of how great a FATHER AND HUSBAND he was. As the Force mourns the loss of another TRUE AMERICAN HERO and city a FALLEN OFFICER; I hope we all remember how you have lost your father, husband, cousin, Uncle, Friend!
BLESS YOU CHARLES CASSIDY. YOU WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN
