To the family and friends of Detective John Falcone, his fellow officers, and most especially to John:
We honor your service to your community as a law enforcement officer and you will always be remembered and revered. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of our entire family, I wish to extend our sincerest condolences on the grievous loss you suffered when John was killed in the line of duty. It is obvious he was well-loved by many and well-respected by his peers as reflected in the loving reflections left for him.
May his loved ones continued to be supported by their law enforcement family and other police survivors. Our family grieves with you and for you. To John's family, you are in my heart's embrace today. I share your parents anquish in losing a beloved child which surely has to be life's greatest sorrow. As we are fast approaching both their first Christmas without you and your eow anniversary date, they are in my thoughts and prayers during these difficult days.
This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the years of distinquished service John gave to his community and the citizens of New York, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on February 18 , 2011

S.Kelly could not said it better as I try to write I find any words I attempt will fall short except if you were to look up Hero you would find his picture along with all the others who we have lost. Rest easy in Gods Grace. I am proud to call you brother. God Bless sleep well with the long line of blue that rest with you.

I have no affiliation with law enforcement. There are so many tragic stories of love ones lost on this site but this one really hurts my heart just a little more. He never gave up pursuit, saved that child and gave his life--probably would've said "Just doin' my job".
He surely deserves to be well rewarded in Heaven. I hope this child will heal from his emotional wounds and do this officer proud.

I come to the ODMP often to remember my late fiancé Dennis. Every time I come here it breaks my heart to know that yet another officer has fallen and that yet another family has to live their lives without the officer they loved. My heart goes out to everyone who knew and loved Detective Falcone. Know that you are not alone in the "journey" that you walk. Should you ever need anything please don't hesitate to contact me. (The Davis Co. Sheriff's Office in Iowa will always know how to reach me. I can also be found on Face Book.) You will be in my thoughts.
From reading the reflections left for John, he sounds like he was a great man with a beautiful spirit. Those of you who knew him in life were so blessed to have been able to share in it. I hope that you will all continue to find a way to celebrate and remember John's life and the MAN that he was. Remember that John's life was about so much more than the way he died. John will continue to live on as long as we continue to remember him.
Detective Falcone, thank you for helping to make this world a little safer for us all. YOU will not be forgotten. Please continue to watch over all of us as only you can. If you happen to bump into my late fiancé Dennis up there give him a big hug for me and the kids. It's been eight years and he's still very much missed and forever loved.
Wishing you brighter and better days,
Jocelyne :)

While it is no consolation for your loss, my heartfelt sympathy goes out to the family and fellow officers of Detective Falcone.
While I did not have the privilege to have known him personally, I am certain that he has found a place in heaven through his selfless service to those he swore to protect.
Rest in peace my friend; those of us who remain will cover your post on the thin blue line.

I retired in 05 after spending 38 years on the Denver Police, My toughest days were burying our own. Each officer and Detective who worked and knew him, hold your chin hight it is ok to cry and share your feeling with your loved ones and your fellow officers. But to each and every one of you men and women, make plans with your loved ones because of the many officers who died in the line of duty, the families had not a clue what to do. Rest in peace, Your friend Dan
