Just recently learned of the hero officer Hurley from his extremely kind widow. She makes delivering the mail a joy, and Jeremiah would be happy to see how well she is doing.

Brave men exist like Jeremiah Hurley Jr. Boston has had much sadness dealing with bombers but always the brave men of Boston do not hesitate in the face of evil. The film Blown Away reminded me of the Boston marathon and the people there maimed or killed and how Boston remained strong and marathons continue to be held today. My only wish is that America would put down it’s mantel of hate and learn from the brave and love our neighbors once again no matter their color, religion, gender , or sexual orientation, and all become heroes to our great country. Evil does not have win every round and every bomb and war does not have take the lives of loved ones like it took Jeremiah Hurley.

I, too,‘watched Blown Away and was led here.
I was born in Boston. My mother’s family came here from Ireland.
It is infuriating and sick that the men who killed you, were trying to kill their intended victim for insurance money. I was told to not ever, ever be surprised by how little it takes to turn some people to evil acts, and here it is again.

Thank you for your service.

To your family, and squad mates, and friends, I am so sorry for your loss.

Just watched the movie BLOWN AWAY.
God bless all these everyday heroes of the Police Department, the Fire Dept., the Bomb Squad and the Medical Emergency Services who risk their lives to save those of others and who selflessly sacrifice to ensure the safety of all!

I am not from Boston. I just watched the movie Blown Away and seen the dedication at the end. Officer Jeremiah J. Hurley Jr was a hero and a very brave man. I did not know him but dismantling bombs is the work of hero's. I am sure he got a hero's welcome in heaven. R.I.P

I saw the dedication to Officer Hurley after watching the movie "Blown Away" and looked up your family on the internet. The idea of letting criminals out for a disease is as stupid as telling children "laws mean nothing, do whatever you want" so with that you know my feelings about this insanity.. I pray the murder remains and finishes his sentence.. I don't care if he dies from covid, shmovid, cancer or a shank to the brainstem.. That is up above my pay grade but he belongs in prison and I pray he remains! God bless you and your family.

This person Alfred Trenkler is trying to get out of prison using the carona virus as one of his excuses. He is going in front of a federal judge to try and get released. My sons grandfather Jeremiah Hurley never got to meet all of his 11 grandchildren ( only two) or see his daughters get married etc. He as 50 years old! Trenkler and his “partner” Shay were trying to kill Shays father for insurance money when they planted the bomb. Trenkler also had built other devices. Please do not let him out of prison and I pray this federal judge foes the right thing! Jeremiah Hurley was a true hero responding to the seen where a school yard with children was near by. He protected and served and we shall honor that!

St. Patrick's Day 2021
Just finished watching the film, "Blown Away" and I was truly blown away by the vivid depictions of what bomb squad members face each working day!
The film was dedicated to Bomb Squad officer JEREMIAH J. HURLEY, JR. and I had to look him up and found this page. Thank you!
