His Judgment Day:
The officer stood and faced his God, Which must always come to pass. He hoped his shoes were shinning, Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, Officer, How shall I deal with you? Have you always turned the other cheek To my church have you been true?"
The officer squared his shoulder and said, "No, Lord, I guess I aint, Because those of us who carry badges can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays, And at times my talk was rough, And sometimes I've been violent Because the streets are tough.
But I never took a penny That wasn't mine to keep.. Though I worked a lot of overtime, when the bills got too steep.
And I never passed a cry for help Though at times I shook with fear. And sometimes, God forgive me, I've wept an unmanly tear.
I know I don't deserve a place among the people here. They never wanted me around except to calm their fear.
If you've a place for me here, Lord, it needn't be so grand. I never expected or had too much, But if you don't...I'll understand.
There was silence all around the throne, where the saints often trod. As the officer waited quietly for the judgment of his God.
"Step forward now, Officer. You've borne your burdens well. Come walk a beat on heaven's streets, You've done your time in hell"

My heart goes out to the Wargo family. I ask that his Blue Family help his loved ones by being there for them during this very trying time and to support them in the court process and be there long after. Always remember him and keep his memory alive for he is a true hero.

My condolences to Patrolman Wargo's wife, family and friends and to the Mount Arlington, NJ Police Department family on the passing of Patrolman Wargo. I am truly sorry he died so tragically and unnecessarily at the hands of someone else's disregard for others. I'm sure he was an outstanding husband, person and Police Officer and I thank him for his service to others. God bless him and all his family and loved ones. RIP

I offer my sincere condolences to the family of Officer Wargo, and if its alright, I would like to leave a personal reflection here that applies to Officer Wargo and any law enforcement officer wherever they may be.
One only has to look out upon the sea of crime's unfortunate victims to know what it has cost--not only to the family and other loved ones but to all Americans.

Patrolman Joseph Wargo, "greater love hath no man than that he lay down his life for his brother". You did not go in vain for you served according to God's will and although I did not know you, you are my brother and it is a sad day for all law enforcement officers to lose our brother. May you rest in peace with our Lord and may your family find comfort in knowing that you are home and our heavenly Father will look over your family as He wraps His loving arms around you!

I was crushed when I heard the news of your untimely passing. It seems like just yesturday we were playing golf and almost did not make work on time. I am going to cherish all of the laughs and smiles that you brought into our lives. You were and will always be larger than life my brother.
Our condolences to your family. We have lost a great man who not only taught us how to be a better person, but brightened our lives while doing it. You were not only a friend, but a hero to many.
Rest in Peace. We have the watch now. God has called you home my brother.
