Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Hi John,
It's 4am March 1st, 2024. I am laying here just thinking how much more interesting life would be if you were still with us. You would make a truly outstanding grandfather, kids all spreadout in different states. They are all growing up fantastically. The phone calls we would have shared about the crazy things and comparisons of the combined 15 of them. Well I do have those conversations.....lol...even if they are one sided...
Time goes by so quickly it seems....I just wanted to let you know I never stop thinking of you and Jimmy....
Rest well my brothers....keep watching out for the families...
Always Loved, never forgotten....

Hey John,
For 13 years, I'm still in shock. We did a rodeo or two for some "down time" upstate. I never had so much fun. You came to my wedding in 1995 and we laughed like two kids at a water park [that's the cleanest thought I can come up with]. Forget about what a great cop you were, you took me under your wing and schooled this young juvenile rookie cop and helped me get my life together. I will always be grateful. I truly think about you every day. I never got a chance to see you in action and could never fill your shoes. But I love to dream about it. I know your are at peace, but I also know you are still kicking some ass and keeping the precinct you are assigned to up in Heaven safe. No further central. John Young is on scene.

Hi Johnny - I just read, again, the many messages Freddy has sent you, and I have tears of love running down my face.
Mom and I think of you EVERY DAY and miss you terribly. I’m sure you know that. My daily prayer to God is that He has you and Jimmy together I’m Heaven - FOREVER.
Although I often consider how much longer it will be before I join you, I do not “fear” death. It will mean that I see you again.
Mom and I are fine but, because we live at a distance, we do not see your kids or their kids too often BUT WE KNOW THEY ARE ALL WELL.
Yesterday a French Colonel traded himself for a civilian hostage and he died as a result. WELCOME HIM. He is a true hero.
Bye for now - I’ve got to blow my nose

I salute you my brother in blue. The memory of you is so alive by the expressions of your loving family. And yes, so many of us have spent a lot of time in either of those three sites, that we are getting sick. You are a hero for giving so much, while others so little. May you continue to rest in eternal peace, and watch over those whom you loved so much. Until we meet.

Hi John,
Hard to comprehend it's been 9 years that has gone by since that cold February day. Not a day goes by that I don't think of you. Tomorrow 9/11 was the beginning of the end for you and many many others. Even today brave souls who were there are dying.
You were a fantastic son, brother, husband and father.
Keep watching over us and keep us safe and on the right path.
Love you and miss you always..

Hi Uncle Johnny, I've been thinking and praying to you a lot lately. I prayed to you that I would land this new job and I did. I want to thank you. As you know I am very shy and quiet, I ask that you help me get through my first day and calm my nerves down. It is not helping me with my lupus as I am having a flare up today. Please continue to watch over me and Tommy and hopefully we will have our miracle come true. As your know I pray to you daily for it to happen. I love you and miss you so much!! Until we meet again. xoxoxo

Happy Birthday John. I haven't been on here in a while but it doesnt mean you are not in our thoughts. My kids wished you a happy birthday today and we spoke about all you did for us and how much you meant to us. Your family is still growing and it's unfair that you are not here to see it and enjoy it with us but I know you guard from above with great care.

"until we meet again, may God hold you in the hollow if His hand..." xoxo

Hi John;
I guess today was the beginning of the end for you, if today had never happened you might be enjoying all your wonderful grandchildren. Many lives were changed forever this day.
Not a day goes by without thoughts of you and Jimmy...

I love you always.....
until we meet again

Hi John;
Where do I begin...I thank you for the feeling you give me of security and sanity when all looks like the workd crumbling around me. I never thought it would be so difficult to miss someone, let alone the both of you. Mom and Dad also struggle with it. It samazing how many little things in life remind me of you both. The feeling of something missing never seems to ease up. Hard to believe six years have gone by. From what I can see from pictures the kids have settled in nicely and the grandkids are beautiful and doing well. Keeps Maura very busy...
But not a day goes by without a thought of you and Jimmy, but knowing that now its your turn to look after him makes the days easier, and I know if you both get out of line Nana will fix you up.
Just wanted to touch base with you both to let you know all is ok...Just keep watching over us and keep us on the right path..
Luv Ya
Freddy
