Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I met Brian’s father, Manny Sr., who was a Wardleader. I met Brian at the Philadelphia Airport, on 12/1/01, for the President’s visit to the Army-Navy game.
I then met his brother, Manny Jr, and horse named Lorenzo, at a Phillies game.

By William Butler Yeats
I will arise and go now, and go to Innisfree,
And a small cabin build there, of clay and wattles made;
Nine bean-rows will I have there, a hive for the honey-bee,
And live alone in the bee-loud glade.

And I shall have some peace there, for peace comes dropping slow,
Dropping from the veils of the morning to where the cricket sings;
There midnight’s all a glimmer, and noon a purple glow,
And evening full of the linnet’s wings.

I will arise and go now, for always night and day
I hear lake water lapping with low sounds by the shore;
While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey,
I hear it in the deep heart’s core.

I'm down in Fla now and just viewed this memorial and I am heart broken to hear that Brian is gone!

Quick story about integrity and Brian, years back a female mounted cop, married mind you to a fellow cop, was constantly hitting on Brian, she knowing full well that Brian was married.

Brian always brushed these unwanted advances off, finally Brian grew tired of these advances and put this female mounted cop in her place right in the ORS, in front of all to see and hear!

Brian told her, you should be ashamed of yourself, you have a great, hard working and loving husband and this is how you re-pay him, and how anyone on this job would put trust in you is beyond belief, so no more come ons, you are a disgrace to your marriage and to this police department!

The female mounted cop stood there dumb founded and expressionless!

Brian was not only a dedicated cop but a dedicated family, wish there were more like him!
God Bless you Brian!
