New Years will never be the same for those who know and love you. Knowing they lost you while you tried to do the right thing will be of no consolation, but nothing ever is. You are a hero though and will forever be.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

May you see God's light on the path ahead
When the road you walk is dark.
May you always hear,
Even in your hour of sorrow,
The gentle singing of the lark.
When times are hard may hardness
Never turn your heart to stone,
May you always remember
when the shadows fall—
You do not walk alone.
Sympathies to Agent's Capano family and friends

To the family and friends of Special Agent John Capano, his fellow agents, 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.

This reflection is sent with the utmost respect for the many years of distinguished service John gave to his community and the citizens of New York, and the supreme sacrifice he and his family made on December 31, 2011.
