My fondest memory of Val: Right after I became a police officer in Wash, DC right out of college, I was visiting my Mom in Buffalo. During that visit I ran into Val, who told me that he had some personal police equipment that used to belong to my Dad (who died when I was 10)and Val wanted me to have them. I eventually received those items (a nightstick & a blackjack). To this day, I will always remember the thoughtfulness of this gesture. To this day, those items have a special place in my home-thanks to Val. May God rest his soul. My prayers are with you and your family at this time.
