Thank you Mr. Jefferson for your kind words and rememberance of my grandfather, Joe Nolan, on the 100th anniversary of his death in the line of duty. We never knew him but he will always be remembered as the kind and loving husband my grandmother, Catherine Nolan, spoke about. My mother, Catherine (Nolan) Collins was just 16 months old when Joe was killed. There was a big hole in her heart throughout her life for never having known her Dad. They are all together again.

Joe, you will always be remembered by your grandchildren and your one and only great-grandchild, Kristina Wiig. Thank you for your service.

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 94th anniversary year 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 who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

I was very touched by your granddaughter's words and can relate to how his loss even affected her by its effect on her mother and grandmother. I pray for her solace.

Joe Nolan was my Mother's father. My Mother was only 1 1/2 years old when he was killed. My Mother, obviously, never knew her Father. His death clearly changed my Mother's life & certainly, her Mother's life....somehow, this loss also carried over to us...the children & grandchildren.
A great loss - over generations...how differnt life would have been, had we not have lost Joe...My Grandmother was only 20 years old in 1918, and she, somehow, managed to support herself, her daughter & her Mother. She was a very strong & also very charming & resourceful...however, that tragic loss always hovered in the backround....I always wonder...how differnt things might have been...but, no use in that...my Grandmother never re-married. My Mother had no siblings.
The day Joe's life was taken away, has affected my family - in a devastating way...never to be forgotten.

I said a little prayer today for Patrolman Nolan and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

On this the 90th anniversary of your death your sacrifice and service are remembered.
Rest in peace as you patrol with St. Michael and all fallen
heroes in heaven.
Your death a senseless act. I hope the assailant(s) were brought to justice.
