Cornelius Regan was my great grandfather and I know little about him. I didn't know he was a Boston Police Officer or that I have "Townie" roots. Reading this now, even though it was 122 years ago, it brings tears to my eyes. He left a wife and five children, one was an infant girl who died shortly after him.

This is a wonderful tribute to him.

Thank you for posting.

On the anniversary of this law enforcement officer's death. We thank you for your service. My family we live here in the city of Boston and we are appreciative and thankful to live in this great city because we have fine Police Officers like Cornelius. No matter how much time passes we will always pray and remember the sacrifice. We are thinking of you tonight Cornelius and praying for you. As the quote goes that everyone knows blessed be the peacekeepers for they shall be called children of God.

Patrolman Regan, though the weather was no doubt not good, you put your own safety well behind that of the man in need of help. This is one of the major cases of a true hero. You showed courage many of us can only hope to attain. You have not, nor will you ever be forgotten and I wish to thank you sincerely for your efforts on behalf of the citizens of Boston and the Commonwealth as a whole.
God Bless and may you continue to Rest in Peace, Brother.

Your heroism and service is honored today, the 112th anniversary of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Rest In Peace
