I was only 7 years old when my Uncle Walter was taken from us. He was the first of a long line of family members who became police officers. My Dad (Walter's younger brother) was also a NYPD Police Officer and I am sure my Grandfather "Pop" had to be so proud of them. I know the feeling, because my oldest son Michael became a police officer with Tampa PD last year. God Rest Uncle Walter and Dad's Souls....
