Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Timmy I met you long ago working east division,you impressed me then as a great patrolman and you continued to impress me as great sergeant. When I asked for help by comming to my squad and taking over a platoon of young officers who just lost thier sergeant and with understanable reservation you said yes. Tim you did a wonderful job for me handling that difficult situation and from the bottom of my heart I thank you. I will miss you my friend and never forget you.

Tim, briefly spoke to you a few weeks ago at Phillies parade. You were funny as usual and right on point as far as Police work. I learned a lot from you and continue to emulate your professional bearing, knowledge and people-person skills. Keep them smiling up there and watch over all the LEOs as we will surely watch over your family. You were the best and will be sorely missed. God Bless. RIP

Timmy,

What can I say brother? I can't believe you are gone. I just saw you up the Academy not even two weeks ago. We were still bitching about the PDU (and we've both been out of there for over 3 years now!), and your plans for some unexpected mountain home "drop in's" this winter. I will never forget my first day as a Cpl. when you told me how it was down there.......and you were ABSOLUTELY right! You helped make a bad place to work a good time! I don't think you ever knew how much you were respected down there.....but I know you wouldn't care either way!!!! You were as about as old school as one could get. You never forget where you came from and always stood your ground. You ALWAYS had the cops' backs.....NO MATTER WHAT. I remember you telling me that if we were losing a fight on the cell block and the only way to win was to lock you in, to do it because you weren't gonna lose and let them get out. I would've never left you and it never got that bad (and we NEVER lost), but that just shows what the measure of a COP is. We spent a long time down there together in 1 Platoon. You showed me a lot and how to do things Tim's way, and it ALWAYS worked, well alright it sometimes worked, but it always got done. We didn't always see eye to eye, but always found the middle ground usually over way too much to eat. You introduced me to Barrel's and an extra 10 pounds!! You gave me some sound advice in both my personal life and the JOB....THANK YOU. I am honored to have been able to supervise side by side with you and work Safe Streets side by side with you, (thanks of course to one of your countless connections) It was here that I saw first hand what an OUTSTANDING COP you were. We both finally got transfered out. And there was no hard feelings on your ticket out, even though you would tape SWAT's assignment sheet with you name on the top to my locker!!!! When I decided to take Detective instead of filling your spot in SWAT when you made Sgt., you said I was nuts, but wished me the best of luck. Then you said I was nuts again when I went back to Cpl. to take over the Honor Guard.....and brother, never in my wildest dreams did I think I would be planning your funeral. We lost a GREAT SERGEANT, and I lost a GREAT FRIEND. I will miss you Timmy. THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING

A POLICEMAN'S LOT

People ask me, "Why did you become a COP?"
They ask, "Do you like the violence and the danger?"
"Do you like being away from your family on the Holidays?"
"Why did you even take a job that pays so little and gets you even less respect?"
When they ask this, I don't say a word.
I don't say a word because they wouldn't understand.
They wouldn't understand that it's all about the man next to you.....and that's all there is.
