Commenting because I don’t see any recent ones and this man deserves to be remembered as long as BPD exists.

RIP George. I haven’t forgotten you. We still leave flowers when we visit the graves and will never stop.

Det. Holmes,
On today, the 60th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army during World War II when you were wounded in action. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Dear Holmes Family:

Today, I read the story in the Boston Globe mentioning George being killed in the line of duty on November 6, 1963 and memories of that day and all of you rushed into my mind. I was in high school and my family (Geary's) lived across the street from you on the corner of Park & Spencer Streets. George, Jr., was also a good friend of mine. So I wanted your family to know that we remember your family and George fondly and wish you peace after all these years of pain and loss.

Commissioner Bill Geary
Metropolitan Police Boston (1983-1989)

Rest in Peace.Thank you for your service.

I remember the day you killed. I was about 6 years old and could'nt understand why my Dad was crying so much. I was brought up never to forget how dangerous a policeman's job was. My Dad had alot of friend in law enforcement. I thank you George and all your fellow policemen. Also I remember your Mom -Nellie she was my Nana's Friend. May God Bless You.

Detective Holmes, today marks the 43rd anniversary of your murder. We can only hope that the responsible person who took you from your friends and loved ones, faced true justice, if not in this life, then in the next.

God Bless you and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.
