On this the 80th Anniversary of the Murder of a distinguished Detective of the greatest police department in the world I’m sad to think of the loss of a man, husband and father. I grew up with his grandsons who lived on East 21 street in Brooklyn NY.
Detective Miccio’s widow Barbara and 2 sons lived next door to each other and I played many wiffle ball games in the common driveway….
His 2 sons are living in Naples Florida and I occasionally see them as I also moved upon my retirement from the NYPD
As I grew up I served in the U.S Navy and later joined the NYC Police Department and retired with 25yrs.
It’s Sad and also an honor to have grown up knowing his Wife, Sons Grandsons and entire family of DETECTIVE JOSEPH MICCIO R.I.P. Brother in Blue.

Det. Miccio,
On today, the 80th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served during World War I. And to your family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

Detective Miccio
Thanks for your sacrifice and valor. Your heroic WWI exploits and your obvious exceptional service as an NYPD Detective is/are the stuff of legend. I've been to NY many times and have always enjoyed the city. It's also obvious that many of your family members carried on the tradition of public service and valor. Thanks for making your city a little safer and thank you more for being a great American.

I remember hearing about Detective Miccio's death as a child. I was too young for it to make a real impression. I reckon my uncle was five or six when it occurred. So sorry that he and his siblings didn't have a dad to help raise them. Great admiration for his mom that I knew just a little bit.

I am also a Miccio. My father, Phil Miccio lived in Ozone Park with his 6 brothers and sisters. He too lied about his age and joined the Army at age 16. His brother Jim lied about his age as well and entered the Navy a year later. The family moved to Connecticut in the early 40's.

I NEVER KNEW DET. JOSEPH MICCIO,BUT I HAD THE HONOR OF WORKING AT A BUILDING NAMED IN HIS HONOR. I WORKED AT THE MICCIO POLICE ATHLETIC LEAGUE CENTER IN BROOKLYN,NEW YORK FOR MANY YEARS. AS A KID I ALSO SPENT A LOT OF TIME THERE AFTER SCHOOL AND DURING THE SUMMER I WAS THERE WHEN THEY RE-DEDICATED THE BUILDING. I ALSO HAD THE PLEASURE OF MEETING YOUR GRANDSON WHO WAS ALSO POLICE OFFICER. I KNOW THAT YOUR FAMILY MISSES YOU AND THAT YOU LEFT A LEGACY FOR THEM. BE PROUD......

Detective Miccio - Sounds like you were one hell of a cop, Sir. You survived combat and imprisonment at the hands of the Germans in WWI only to die on the streets of New York. Thanks for your example of courage and commitment. I can only hope I possess a bit of your bravery if and when I'm ever put to a similar test.

May God grant you eternal rest and may His perpetual light shine upon you.

To the Miccio's, I lived on East21st in Brooklyn and were childhood friends of Joseph, Billy and Lance Miccio. We played ball in between the houses their families owned (brothers Joseph and Ken Miccio) I learned of their grand dad's death from my dad(who is 89 years old and still lives on 21 st) who told me that Joe Miccio Sr's(the NYFD batallion chief) father had been killed in the line of duty back in the 40's. I rode with Chief Miccio back in 1985 to 1987 when he was chief. He loved his job. I am writhing this at this moment because I have just returned from washington DC with my wife and ten year old son- and after going to DC probably 12 times I finally visited the memorial to Law Enforcement members killed in the line of duty-but more important I located the name Joseph A. Miccio and stencilied his name onto a piece of paper that I would love to send to Joe Miccio Sr.(the Chief) who i believe lives down in Florida. If any Miccio reads this especially the grandsons Joseph his brother Billy or Lance could you please contact me at my work 212-416-8887 ( I am employed with the NYS Attorney Generals Office as a Investigator/Forensic Accountant and have been for the last 27 years. I am so happy i found this website. I work with all retired cops.
