Like others who have responded on here, I saw the movie “Blown Away” and noticed the dedication. What incredible bravery to serve people in this way. Officer Hurley’s family should be so proud. To give your life to protect others in this way is a very high calling and one I will appreciate more now.

I have been doing research on my family tree. I never met Officer Hurley, but I have just found out that we were second cousins. My grandfather, Francis McArdle, was a brother of Officer Hurley's grandmother, Mary McArdle Hurley. Francis and Mary are buried in the family plot in Calvary Cemetary in
Dorcester,MA They both had emigrated from County Armagh, Ireland, in the late 19thC.

My father served with Jerry and his partner Frankie Foley. I remember being home on leave from the USAF when he received word of Jerry's death. It was the first and only time I ever saw him cry. RIP Officer Hurley.

Today is 25 years since Officer Hurley died in the line of duty. I never had the privilege of knowing him, but as a former emergency services paramedic he is a brother. Although I live in Australia, I just wanted his family to know that there are people out there, that have not forgotten him nor his sacrifice. God bless you and your loved ones. Gone but not forgotten in our hearts and memory.
Warm Regards

No Emotion No More Than a Wave can Retain it's Own Original Form.
May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.

GOD bless those who serve and protect without regard for themselves. I am certain beyond any doubt that our LORD, Jesus Christ, has been with his family since he gave the ultimate sacrifice for those he had never met.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 23rd anniversary year of your death. I am privileged to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service.
My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.
Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace

Just watched Blown Away with Jeff and Lloyd Bridges and Forrest Whittaker. What a beautiful memorial to Officer Hurley. God Bless Him and all who serve in a similar capacity. Cudos to our brother city, especially after the events of the recent bombings.
