A SOLDIER! Police Cpl On behalf of the men and women of the Abington Township Police Department, we send our condolences and prayers to the family of Officer Cassidy and the Philadelphia Police Department. Officer Cassidy, you died a hero and will never be forgotten. Thank you for your service. Abington Township Police Department Chuck -- Never forgotten DeputySheriff (Retired) I've been living in New Jersey since July '70 but still watch the Philly news. I recall the day officer Cassidy was shot and seeing this very picture of him on TV. Tragically, he died the next day. He looked vaguely familiar to me but I really didn't know who he was then. John J. "Jack" Rusher III Thinking of you on National Peace Officers Day.
Officer Cassidy, Detective Chuck, Police Officer R.I.P
All I can say is the Lt. that left the previous reflection on here hit the nail on the head with her statement about how people often complain about how cops are never around when they need them. Ofc. Cassidy was there when the people inside the store needed him, just like how Gary Skerski was at Pat's cafe the night that the people inside there needed him. The men and women of the PPD are everyday heroes. We as citizens of Philadelphia all owe them for what they do day in and day out as a pretty much thankless job. Not too many people are willing to do the things they do, especially considering the salary,come on. Just goes to show you the character of the men and women who sign up. It is not about the money, it's about being able to directly make a difference in someone's life. There is an old saying, the marines use it, many people go through their life wondering if they made a difference in the world, well Marines don't have that problem. Well, you can say any member of the PPD also does not have that problem, especially the brave men and women who have laid down their life so that others may live. Officer Cassidy, it is an honor to have walked the same hallways that you did in high school. Your Family will always be in my prayers, like another officer had previously stated, I can only wish that I can be half the man and potentially half the officer that you were. You reallly set the bar high, and everyone should try to live their life the way you did. Thank You!!! A grateful citizen!!! Philly Citizen
