We never met you but she over those almost 50 years after your dying in the line of duty, planted your memory in my heart. I have your and her picture in my room. All your grandchildren and great grandchildren keep you alive in our hearts!
I am a priest of 56 years and have been a Police Chaplain since 1967 and am the Chaplain of the Verona (NJ) Police Department since 1994 which is my greatest honor and blessing. They are the FINEST of the Finest, as you are, Pop. Ask St Michael our Heavenly Patron to continue to bless, sustain and intercede for Police Personnel and their loved ones and most importantly the people they choose to protect and serve!
Enjoy the Eternal “CHOIR PRACTICE!”
