To the Family of Officer Sohn:
I wanted to offer my sympathies on your tragic in the line of duty passing. Almost 67 years have passed since you were taken from your family, community and fellow officers. You were a true hero and your bravery and courage will never be forgotten. By the way officer Sohn your first name means "good heart" and that was reprented by your professional mannerisms. My dad was one of NYPDs finest for almost 40 years in the 102 precinct. Rest in peace officer Sohn and Olav Hasshalom.
