60 years later you are still not forgotten by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. You did a job well done.

An Angel in the Sky Must Leave His Place of Rest. Gently Tucking His Wings beneath His Armored Vest. For Duty has called, there is much work to do. Little did he know, This One is dressed in Blue. Arriving on the Scene, He Knows Just What to Say, Follow me Fallen Brother, I'll Show you the Way, "Your Duty has Ended, Your Work is now Through, "Come Hang Your Hat Beside mine, I'm A Cop Too.

God bless the Ditkosky family
