After nearly thirty years you still enter my mind with fond memories of your laugh and sense of humor. It was a pleasure and a privilege to work alongside you through those tough days in the Bronx.

I was the Housing detective who were in the area and heard the shooting over the radio. I responded to the scenene and heard on the radio that a male with a gunshot wound was dropped off at St. Baranabous hospital. I immediately rushed to the hospital and found the male in the ER. I then handcuffed him to the bed. I waited for the 46 uniform to arrive and turned the prisoner over to them. I then participated in the investigation whereupon based on a parking ticket which I traced to a building in the Bronx, we arrested the other suspect. My name appears on a few DD’5 s, other than that I never received any credit for my work. Augustine Papay Jr Retired Detective#790 NYC HOUSING. Rest In Peace Officer Serrano.

today, we honor the passing of a true hero. one who was a brother to my father. a man who me or my brother ruben never got to meet. through all the stories my dad used to tell me, all the good things about larry, and how he was just such a genuine nice loving man and an awesome cop. and i'm sure was going to be our god father if he was living today. he surely didn't go out like any other man would. he went out with a literal "bang" injuring both of the cowards who decided to hold him at gun point and gun him down. wounding them to where the boys in blue could give them a good ass kicking and lock them up for life. larry, i never got to meet you, and as silly as this sounds i miss you. but more importantly i know my father misses you very very much. larry, i know your up there now with grandma and they are both protecting us and looking down on the family and are very proud of the man my brother is turning into and the young man i'm growing and striving to be, just like my father. We love you larry!

My brother-in-law worked with Larry and was with him prior to this tragedy. Together, we went to the hospital upon hearing the news and as a young cop I experienced the pain of losing a brother. Although I never met you, my brother-in-law told me good stories and a photo of you guys still hangs in his living room in Queens. Your death will not be in vain and those that were present and continue to serve will never forget. We will always preserve your honor and that of those who have fallen.

I remember the day I saw him holding the letter of acceptance to the NYPD academy and the first thing he tells me is that he will not be able to be promoted to the rank of Auxiliary Sergeant."Are you kidding me!? You been looking forward to this day and it has arrived, so go out there and you do you." I said to him. I was happy to see him on foot patrol on Tremont Ave., the same streets we patrolled together as Auxiliaries in the 48th Pct. and later at a crime scene in the 43rd Pct. I just got home from my School Safety tour in Bklyn North when the News flashed a teaser of a Bx. cop shot in a robbery. The front of the building was on the screen and right then and there I knew it was Serrano. I cried and my wife did also cause she was also an Auxiliary that knew him and together we went to his wake and burial to pay respect to a dear friend...May you continue to Rest in Peace and never be forgotten...FIDELIS AD MORTEM...
