I miss the days when you and me and Kevin K. and John C. and Ron B. would make fun of each other in the muster room of the 67 before hitting the streets early in the morning. We went on Burg patrol and you went out with Miriam to round up warrants. We were on patrol that day in on Church Ave in the 67 when we heard Miriam calling for help. We tried so hard to get to you Tony but we were hit by a cab and were all injured. I never had another chance to see you. It remains the saddest day of my life. You are always in my thoughts Tony, heaven gained a real angel that day and we all lost our caring and kind friend.
