Billy, I will always remember the day you and I became partners in the 107 Pct. We spent two years working together and had some amazing collars. I also remember the day the Captain called us into his office to tell us that we were both selected to go to OCCB. I declined and eventually went to the 103 then ESU and you went to Narcotics. Your parting gift to me was a Coca-bolla night stick. Three years later came word of that terrible day. Thinking of you today as always. Got to see your daughter recently, she is all grown up now and married and has a baby. Your cousin Pat does you proud every year and Lori is still the great person that you married. Until we meet again, Rest in Peace brother.

Now that I'm an adult and there is social media i have finally read the tragic story behind this that always was in back of my mind. I didnt know this officer but i knew his mother as a child as a neighbor. In my childhood i used to play near his moms house and she was so kind and friendly and loved kids even allowing us on her front steps. My mom told me she lost her son and he was an officer a d the grace she had back then carried her through and the park in my old neighborhood is even named after him. Rip

William, the incident that caused you to leave us happened before I got on the job. You left us after I had been transferred out of the 67th Precinct. During my time there, you were always talked of and held in the highest regard.

May You Continue To Rest In Eternal Peace

RIP brother. Hand salute. Billy I am very sorry if I could have put Ralph Richardson down on Pennsylvania Ave. You would be alive today. I couldn't due because of too much pedestrian traffic. Me and the Brooklyn ADA let you down. They RORed him and dropped the attempted murder of a police officer and gun charge to attempted possession of a fire arm.

Billy, I have always remembered you from our six months together in the January, 1982, Police Academy class. I remember having lunch together in the P.A. lunchroom, and how we studied the Law class work as we ate. I took a photo of you when were at the Firearms Range in City Island. It has always remained one of my most treasured PD mementos. We will meet again at our Final Command in Heaven. Put in a good word for me Billy. I need it.

Hello Folks, Just wanted to express my sadness to so many of Law Enforcement Community... I am always saddened when discovering any LIFE taken in violence under any circumstances..... But To Have so many of Our Law Enforcement Personnel to be Killed in the LINE of Duty by a Person whom had a choice... Give Up and Think of the Tragedy that , You could have prevented by placing Your Firearm pointing to the Ground when knowing that You did wrong by just the mere having a weapon that You know not to have....... It's not about You out there..... The Community values all our Law Enforcement as they are the Last Line of defense and Drop everything when just hearing the Call To Duty..... We ask not for Our selves when rushing to the 10- 10 Gun Runs as we want to secure not ourselves , But the general Public , especially Our Most Vulnerable . Our Children , Elderly , disabled without knowing of Color , But of Our Valour to Keep the Public Safe...... So Please be more understanding .When Seeing a Police Enforcement Member , Just Take the Time to say Hello with a smile anytime You see us...... Weather in the Hospital, The street , Getting Coffee, or just walking or driving bye...... Just Wave hello and let Us know that You Value Our Serving with You and Your Family without Prejudiced...... No Matter where You Came from , creed, Color We get there ASAP........ So please remember We come without prejudices to help and to Serve all Our People..... In short , Please Remember All Our member's of the department , especially the Member's and their Families to those Whom made the Supreme Sacrifice , for that other's may live in Peace.......... The Funeral Masses are at the same time every YEAR...... So if You can, PLEASE , Yes , PLEASE Post in the Local Library's and in Schools and Try to Support the Family of every Member Whom Gave their Life , so as We May ALL Live in a safer Environment........ Support Your Local Police by sharing the date of the Service with other's and show Your Sincere Thank You to ALL The HEROES and the True Heroes ,the Family Member's that Continue the Hard Journey to continue to Live without their LOVED ONE Whom they will remember everyday till their Last...... The Widow's and Offends The Heroes to Continue On ........... Please , never forget them....... I hope to see them all in the Promise Land............. Hang in there Families ........ Your Children will continue in their Father or Mother's Tradition....... Never forget , and Prepare for Your Entry in the Police Academy...... We are awaiting Your Great Tradition.......... See You all then....... Make Your MOM or DAD Proud ...... Obtain the SHIELD........
