I cannot believe it has been a year. Seems so much longer. Your murderer should not have been on the street in the first place. That is what makes your passing even more tragic. Thank you for being a good friend to my relative. You are a hero. Strength to your family.

Hard to believe a year has gone by already. May God Bless your family and loved ones, especially those continuing the tour of duty, and the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department. In a time where everything is politicized, our “leaders” seem to be every bit as dangerous to LE as the bad people out there, and it’s popular to vilify the police and treat the evildoers as victims, I pray for the men and women of the Philadelphia Police Department and LE everywhere. Thank you for your service and please know that your sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren. Rest in peace always.

The true measure of a person
is not found in the
might of their arm,
their wealth
or their power –
it is found in the strength
of their character.

There is no greater testimony to
ones character, than ones
willingness to sacrifice all,
in the noble quest of
providing protection to all
whom they serve.

Rest in peace. No doubt you will never be forgotten. I was happy to hear your handcuffs went on the scumbag that took your life. To the O'Connor family our sincere condolences. Another senseless killing all by a guy just doing his job to protect & serve. Very sad.
