On September 11, 2001, many lives were taken by cowardly swine with a meaningless grudge; thousands of innocent civilians, Firefighters and Law Enforcement personnel from numerous agencies. The animals who did this must have known in their evil pathetic hearts that the dying would not end on that day or even in the weeks that followed. It’s been over a decade and still we lose our Brothers and Sisters from the fallout.
God Bless all have gone before and those who follow including Police Officer William J. Leahy.
Brother, we share a last name and sadly, you're the second Leahy to pass due to the actions of those scum on that day, the first being Patrolman James Leahy of the NYPD, which I'm sure you well know.
When a Brother or Sister Officer dies, it's felt a bit inside. It hurts just a bit, sometimes a lot, especially if we knew the person. I never knew you. I didn't even know you were out there, but now I do and for all the wrong reasons.
From one Leahy to another, I wish you peace and complete rest. God Knows, you've earned it and so long as the Leahy's you leave behind keep you in their hearts and minds, you'll never truly be gone from them. God Bless you, Brother Leahy.

The thoughts, hearts and prayers of everyone here at CCPD go out to the families, both blood and blue, of Officer Leahy. May the Good Lord give you strength, comfort and peace.
He swore an oath to serve and protect and he made the ultimate sacrifice in the service of that oath.
Go with God.

Lord God, our hearts and prayers go out to the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department and for the family, friends, and colleagues of Police Officer William J. Leahy, of the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey Police Department, who died of a cancer-related illness as a direct result of his efforts during the rescue and recovery efforts after the attacks of September 11, 2001 on Thursday, June 6, 2019. Depart, dear Brother-in-Blue, out of this world into the arms of the Father who created you, into the arms of the Son who redeemed you, and into the arms of the Spirit who made you whole. “You have fought the good fight, you have finished the race, and you have kept the faith” [2Timothy 4:7]. Now rest easy in peace. We will take it from here. Amen.
Scripture teaches us that:
“Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted.” [Matthew 5:4 ESV]
“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons [children] of God.” [Matthew 5:9 ESV]
“Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends.” [John 15:13 ESV]
