I find it heartening and inspirational that the NY State Police still watches over the grave of this Trooper. I have met a few NYSP Troopers in my career and they were all great people. Thanks for preserving the memory of your fallen and taking care of their resting place(s). It says a lot about your organization.

MR. And Mrs. MUrillo, thank you for posting information regarding Trooper Donivan's family history. I'm one of the Troopers who , before I retired, watched over his grave. Now retired, I maintain that vigil. I was there last weekend.

It's nice to know he had children that bore his name. Their is a child buried next to him, so I assumed his named died with that child. Thank you for that knowledge. I would love to see that flag sometime. We at the SP Shokan barracks consider it our job to watch over him and his family.

Roy's portrait hangs in our house. Roy was Michael's mother's father's father. Roy's only child who survived to adulthood, Charles, had 5 children and 3 grandchildren, and Charles has 4 great-grandchildren to date, 2 of them our children. We keep safe the flag that adorned Roy's coffin, and we honor his memory and sacrifice. We are touched and grateful that officers care for his and our other family members' graves. He will always be remembered in our family.
