Reflections for Detective John P. Finnegan

Detective Joseph McNeely and Detective Edwin Lambert, who both made arrests of persons resposible for the murders of Dectectives Fallon and Finnegan, both passed away this year. It was no secret that the murder of those Detectives haunted them for the remainder of their days. God bless all of them.

Uncle John,

Even though I never had the chance to meet you, my mother told me how wonderful of a person you were. I take much honor in being named after you!!

Your loving nephew,
John

Each day I try to read the ODMP. Today I read your story. Any officer who dies in the line of duty will always be remembered for his sacrifice. You died a hero. Rest in peace Officer Finnegan.
