I found this site most recently due to the recent death of one of our young officers. In searching this site, I found the tribute to one of my brotherinlaw's relatives, a NY State trooper, Cpl Arthur M. Diffendale, that was killed by gunfire in 1951, his grandmothers cousin. I passed this site onto my brotherinlaw who also told me about another relative, Barbara, whom you are her father. I send this tribute to you , and my prayers go out to Barbara and her family, to honor you for giving the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. May you rest in peace. A Hero is not a Hero by their death, but by how they lived their lives! God Bless you!
