Please accept the condolences of my family during this sad time. I have fond memories of the Chief and what he represented for the Norwich Police Dept. My parents loved and respected him deeply. I lost my mother one year ago and he came with his beautiful wife to pay his respects to my father and our family. My father was deeply saddened when I told him the news this morning, we just returned from Florida last night and had not heard this very sad news. Please accept our deepest sympathy.

Lisa,
My mom died last year on Oct. 30 and, even though she was ill and it was not entirely unexpected, it was -- and remains -- a shock. So I am reaching out to you here to say how much I understand your pain today. I wish the best for you and your family in moving forward. I met your dad only once -- at the circus in 1997!

To Mrs. Abele and the entire Abele Family,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Chief Abele. I was fortunate to work with him during my time as MIS Director and enjoyed his wit, intellect and honesty. My heart goes out to you all - I'm so sorry work prevents me from attending his funeral; you are all in my thoughts and prayers.
