Fidelis ad mortem - Faithful Unto Death - the Motto of the NYPD. Research disclosed that a child of his (he left a wife and daughter), who was under guardianship, and was receiving money from the Police Pension Fund, died on December 23, 1879. I wonder if the mother pre-deceased her or if the child was placed in guardianship. The annual payment was $150.00 & the death payout $259.58. It appears that a local FOP Lodge maintains the headstone with volunteers.

On July 19, 2003, the County Executive of Orange County, NY proclaimed that July 19 will be forever known as Edward Dippel Day in Orange County.

What better way to show your anger at something than to steal from someone? Sadly that mentality is still in existence.

Patrolman Dippel, thank you for your service. Your efforts were meritorious and honorable but tragically deadly. You have not been forgotten and I am grateful that this wonderful website preserves your good name especially on this 155th anniversary of your sacrifice.

God Bless you, Brother and may your eternal rest be ever peaceful.

Patrolman Dipple, you gave your life trying to keep the peace and protecting property from scoundrels. I can understand why the Draft Riots occurred, but as with all riots, the meaning behind it is pushed aside by the lowest of life forms, opportunists who take advantage of a situation for their own personal gain. We can only hope that those who caused your death (and ALL filthy vermin who loot) faced true justice, if not in this world, then in the next.

You were a hero and deserve this memorial page on this anniversary of your passing.

God Bless and may you eternally Rest in Peace, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 146th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
