Not sure what to say?

I miss you more every day Perp. You will always be my hero, my standard to live up to. You were the greatest man I have ever known. You taught me to care for animals, you taught me everything and shaped my life more than anyone. My heart breaks you are not here with me now. I love you. I will see you in heaven.

Captain Monzo a man who led his men from the front.He was loved by the men of his command and deeply respected.

A great warrior, friend, Rest in peace

Captain monzo was my very first Captain, all the others paled in comparison. He took care of his troops first,last, and always.

He was a kind and warm hearted man. Any one who ever worked for Cap has a story.

Me deepest condolences on your lost.

Perp
I love you so much and will miss you more than words can say. But I will see you again and it will be a wonderful reunion.

I litterally just found out an hour ago. Am so very sorry to hear. Uncle Fuzzy was so very special to me, and I will miss him. Still today I was telling my sons the many stories and memories I have. God bless you all.

I never got to really know uncle AL as my dad(Joseph Rachubka Jr.),and grandmother(Helen Rachubka) would tell me about him.But from what Ive heard,I know your family and the city has lost one of it's finest.

Our deepest sympathies to the Monzo family. Capt. Monzo was a friend of my late Dad from grade school through their service together as Captains of the APD. My Mom, Bette, and I fondly remember many great stories of their times together. He and all of you are in our prayers.

Like many other lucky officers, I was priveledged to have worked for Captain Al Monzo. He was one of the finest leaders on the department. He loved his men and his men loved him. We all would have followed him to the hinges of Hades. Rest in peace, Capitano.

With deepest sympathy to the Monzo family. Your father always brightened my day ~ he will truly be missed.
