R.I.P to my Great Grandfather!
Your son Edward was my grandfather and through the years I’ve acquired many photos of you from your time serving with the Lyndhurst Police Dept.
You were badge #3 and I’ve been a patrolman with the Nutley Police Dept., just over the bridge from Lyndhurst! My badge # is 330
Your son Frank was able to get a street in Lyndhurst named after you and there are memorials for you in the park next to the police department as well as at the Bergen county police academy.
