Reflections for Police Officer Robert Venable

Bobby... It's been over 15 years since that terrible night. I remember it as if it was yesterday. I miss your sense of humor and how you always were smiling. Even though we were in diferent units we somehow always seemed to end up at the same place. Euclid Ave is etched in my mind, because that is where I lost a friend. I still remember giving you my reciept for an approved day off (TP30) so you could write down the particulars of the arrest and I told you that if I got into trouble for taking the day off, I was going to come after you. Who knew you would be shot 20 minutes later for no other reason than that you were a police officer. RIP

PO Barry Kucher
NYPD

Your memory will always be carried on with the dignity and respect for their is no greater love than to sacrifice one's life for your fellow brothers and sisters. The members of the NYC Transit Police Memorial Lodge #317 are proud and honored to call you one of our own.

Sgt. Michael Fanning
NYCTPD
