View all 23 ReflectionsI can’t believe that Donnie Shea has been 44 years since his tragic death while serving his community. I came to know Donnie through his friends in Dorchester! He was the greatest! As I watch the services for Trooper Bucci I am once again reminded of the tremendous sacrifice our men and women in Blue make every day! May our fallen officers test in peace!
