Dear Mrs. Murcko and entire Family,
"We look at the night sky in the quiet of darkness, and they are never far. Those we have loved and cherished, those who have changed our lives in some small or profound way are closer than we know; because it is their light that shines on our world. It is the brilliance of their souls that make our night sky glow." I send my sincere condolences in the passing of your beloved husband, father and grandfather. Mr. Murcko was one of Bridgeport's "Bravest"...serving and protecting its citizens from the ills of fire and destruction for over a quarter century. May all your wonderful memories be a source of comfort at this difficult time.
Most Respectfully,
(Retired....BPD)
