John 5:28, 29 - "Do not be amazed at this, for the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out". I pray that everyone can find peace in knowing that we will see this officer as well as many others again in Paradise soon. Until then, please accept my condolences.

I met Barry when I was assigned to the Street Crime Unit in 1997. He was my commanding officer. I would later be able to call him friend. In my 22 years in the NYPD, I have never met a leader such as him. I would have followed him to hell and back as many times as he would ask. A true gentleman and a true hero. He is missed by all those he touched.

It was with a heavy heart when I learned of his passing. I worked with Capt Galfano numerous times in my career. I considered him a friend and mentor. It was a very moving and touching service. He was a big brother who always had your back. I think of him often and the great times we had on and off the job. He was the real deal, A hero who never cared for the politics of the job or the phonies who ran it. At the time of his passing, I knew Barry for over 20 years. He was the best boss on the job. He motivated you, led from the front and fought for all his cops. I never met one person who had a negative comment about Barry. He was a true gentleman and proud father. If the NYPD had only 50 more bosses like him, I would of stayed past 20 years. Barry, you are missed by many and respected by ALL.

Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. We will never forget our 9/11 heroes. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I pray for solace for all those that love and remember you for I know both the pain and pride are forever.

As a young Police Officer I served under Capt. Barry Galfano in the NYPD elite "Street Crime Unit". We would patrol some of NYC highest crime areas and effect arrest of those individuals who possessed illegal firearms and committed violent crimes. It was the best time of my career. Capt. Galfano was a hands on supervisor who had no problem jumping in your car and doing "Gods work". It was an honor to serve with you and may you Rest In Peace. Hey Capt. "We own the nigth" SCU....

Barry Galfano was a true hero, a gentleman, a great supervisor, and his passing is a reminder of our mortality in the face of courage. In another posting someone said that St. Michael now has a fantastic back up. I could not agree more. Rest In Peace Barry: Larry Monte NYC Transit Police

Barry, you were taken from us way too soon. I can recall many deadly serious & other quite humorous situations that we found ourselves in. You lived the life of a true hero.

Captain Barry Galfano, i have never served with anyone close to your Bravery and integrity !!! God Bless Barry, St. Micheal has recieved the perfect backup !!

I believe, that no matter what agency you belong to, we as brother and sister Officers need to remind eachother to ' NEVER FORGET' !!!

I am amazed that Capt. Galfano has recieved only 2 reflections on this page, so I am assuming that not many NYPD Officers know about this page, but that will change right now, I had the pleasure of knowing and working with Barry Galfano, and I will affirm that thru out my long career and meeting many legends in the game Barry was one of the best, a gentleman and true leader, knowing him as a cop to the pleasure of being promoted to Captain he stood the same, level headed and a true leader, he would enter first then expect you to follow, which is rare in leadership !!! Barry Galfano truely deserves honors among Police Officers its a shame you have never met a true legend, Im glad I did !!! God Bless You Captain Barry Galfano !!!!
