I found myself crying after all these years. It happens suddenly when you come to mind. You have not been forgotten nor will you ever be.

Today marks 40 years my Dad was taken from us, so many life events he missed, so many times I think about how proud he'd be or how I'd love to tell him something. Pain may fade with time, sorrow may ease but the love will always be there. Hugs & kisses Dad, love you much.

Dad, another year has passed and I remember the same as if you were here a moment ago. Our lives were forever changed when that person chose to pull the trigger on the gun that killed you. Their karma will be hefty.

My heart and mind still bear the scars of the night you were taken from us. They say time heals but why haven't my wounds healed from so many years ago. I can only think of so many other wives, daughters, sons and parents that have wounds that have not healed and will always remain from their loved ones taken from them as you were from us.

As I age and my time get closer to seeing you, I find myself knowing even more you will be there to greet me once I come over. Until then, dad.

Love Karan

It has been many years since our loss of our father and we still hold him in our hearts, remembering each day. We see reflections of you in the grandchildren that you never knew, your smile, your eyes, your sense of humor, your love of animals.

I look at my son who looks so much like you and it is like having a piece of you with me everyday. I know you are with me, watching and protecting all of us as you did in life. Only now you have a bird's eye view of things.

Love you, Dad. Always and forever.

Thank you Officer Durante for posting my father's picture here. I am the youngest daughter of Officer Carragher and his death is still fresh in my mind and heart after all these years.

I wish you and all officers a safe return to your family each and every day. May God hold you all in the palm of his hand and protect you.

It was my honor to research newspapers, books and magazines and finally find your ID Card Photo and make sure your photo was put on this site. I wanted to put a face to your heroism in the Line of Duty. I did the research because you are a brother officer and no matter how many years past, you will always be remembered. Rest Easy Hero.

Officer Carragher,
On today, the 30th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community-but for our Country as well when you served in the USN during WW II. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.
