Your assailants may have never been caught to face justice but they surely faced a much higher authority and higher justice at a later time. Rest in peace always knowing that your service and sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten by your law enforcement brethren.

Officer Creghan,
I know that I have been lapse in posting annually...it is something that I promised myself that I would do everytime the time the Law Enforcement Memorial Mass comes around.
Anyway, I thought you should know that your boys on the RTPD are doing well...
Please continue your watch over them and keep them safe...and once again...I thank you for your sacrifice.
May you rest in peace!

To fully appreciate the heroes of the present, we must recognize our heroes of the past. Your heroism and service is honored today, the 90th anniversary year of your death. I am priviliged to be among the first to leave a tribute to you. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. My cherished son Larry Lasater was a fellow police officer who was murdered in the line of duty on April 24, 2005 while serving as a Pittsburg, CA police officer.

Time never diminishes respect. Your memory will always be honored and revered. Rest In Peace.

John F. Creghan was my great grandfather. I am proud of the legacy and family he left behind. He made the ultimate sacrifice. God Bless. Watch over your GGGrandson in Ridley Middle School and all the officers who serve our community.

Officer Creghan,
I realize I'm late posting this year... but I have to let you know that the entire RTPD is doing well... there were some bumps in the road...and new officers were finally hired... but the unit as a whole is tight...
Thanks for your continued watch from above... keep them safe...Thank You

Officer Creghan,
As a father of a Ridley Township Police officer, I sometimes worry about my son. Then I think back to when he dropped your hat and how proud he was to have that honor...

Then it dawned on me..you sir are probably looking down on the whole department and whispering...

"Don't worry boys... I got your back"

And like my son... I wish I knew more about you... but as a man I know that you were just a father trying to do his job to the best of his ability without regard to your own welfare...only the welfare of the community..

So I write this reflection to honor you for your service and to ask you to keep watch over your boys at RTPD...

Thanks
Joe McGee
