Such a young man struck down after days of honorable service to the people of New York City. Rest in peace Patrolman Pelosi. My father, Patrolman Owen C. Davis, may he too rest in peace worked out of the 102nd precinct for nearly forty years. You were about five years older than my father. I miss him and my mother, Bernice a lot.
