I never met Officer Crowley. I was almost 4 months old on the night he was killed. I grew up hearing about him though. My dad was one of his partners that night. From what I was told, Mr. Crowley had told my dad he would take the lead on entry rather than my dad or Mr. Duignan. By doing that I got to grow up with a father but my dad lost a partner. It was a tragic night for all officers involved.

Rest easy, Officer Crowley and thank you for your service.
