Officer Paine, it's now been 72 years since your murder. Though satisfying to know that you prevented your murderer from ever killing, it didn't bring you back. Thank you for your service to the Town of Marblehead and the Commonwealth as a whole.

God Bless and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.
