I never cried so much in my whole life at the time....and I was not alone... I recall hearing the NYPD Chaplain comment to a colleague that he had never seen so many officers so upset before.

It was so many years ago and I was so young your memory is kept alive by family and by yoru co workers. They have continuously supported and celebrated your life over and over. We are all so grateful for that.

Thank you,
Joseph Garcia's niece

I worked with Joe for many years in the 6th Pct. He & his partner Eddie were assigned the connecting patrol sector. (6 C~CHARLES) You could always depend on them to back you up. Joe was a great cop and a pleasure to work with. It's almost 30 yrs since he was taken away from us on that dreadful day.
You are not forgotten, even today. If you look up in the evening sky, you'll see a bright light shinning. That's the light of God's love reflecting off of Joe's Shield as he patrols in '6 Charlie.'
