I saw the memorial sign for Detective Roy Joseph Sergei while on Mass Ave today. I live near by and walk my dogs in the area. I don't know if these reflections are read or by whom, but if so wanted to express my sympathy to Detective Sergei's loved ones. I realize he passed in 1987, but time does not heal all wounds. May he rest in joy and may your days be peaceful and blessed.
