With the tremendous help of Captain Tommy Willis of the Hudson County Sheriff's Office, my great-uncle is now honored and remembered for his ultimate sacrifice in 1921. Thank you Captain Willis for your efforts on behalf of our family. Seeing his name placed on the wall last May was bittersweet after all these years.
