Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

One see's how devastating man can be; war, 9/11. Through that devastation one encounters the polar opposite - one comes across people who are good and genuine. Jimmy Boyle was that person. Post 9/11 I had the opportunity to work alongside Jimmy near Ground Zero. We kept in touch. I remember Jimmy retiring from NYPD. He invited me to Florida and I invited him to Ireland. We fished off of Montauk and camped together in upstate New York. We talked about the job, family, 9/11, PTSD. We could call each other at any time of the day or night.
Jimmy was versed in legal matters and unfortunately knew first hand about certain health issues. Despite all this, even after retirement, Jimmy still assisted numerous people, civil servants, and veterans in many ways - listening, making deliveries, assisting in filling out paperwork, and opening his door to provide a roof over one's head. He was a great crutch.
Over four years ago I saw Jimmy failing physically. Sometimes you just know. I remember shaking hands with him in his living room little did I know it was the last time I'd see him. He didn't have long. When I got confirmation that Jimmy did indeed pass there was an emptiness. Still is. I miss the long talks on the phone. I miss the pranks. Guidance. Words of reassurance. So glad I got to know a really good person. During the holiday season we realize health is wealth. Rest in peace. Keep a tight one!!

Lord Jesus, as we watch our nation’s brave law enforcement officers succumb to the wicked and evil in this world, it becomes difficult for us to pick up and move forward. Our communities are on the brink of exploding with tension. In light of the law enforcement officers who are no longer with us, I pray for endurance for our communities and law enforcement agencies. Carry us through this time of strife, that through our struggles, our bonds may grow even more unbreakable. In Your mighty and holy name, I pray. Amen.

“And I heard the voice of the Lord saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.” [Isaiah 6:8 ESV]

“Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.” [Psalm 23:4 ESV]
