Both officers were transported to the Jersey City Medical Center with skull fractures. Patrolman Drewes succumbed to his injuries a short time later.

View all 4 ReflectionsThis is my Maternal Grandfather. We always heard the story of his death on the motorcycle. He was survived by my Grandmother Frances Drewes, my Uncle William and mother Joan, and they lived on Washington Street in Hoboken. I believe Fanks father, my GG Grand Father, was a top official at the Hoboken Fire Department. Frances moved to River Edge and bought a house where my mother, and later I, was raised.
