So sorry to hear of your father´s passing. Our thoughts, prayers and sincere condolences to you all during this difficult time. I truly enjoyed working with your father in the police dept. When he was my street sergeant, there were many times we shared coffee/breakfast and then went out to the old Ventnor dump looking for hidden treasures. His sense of humour was second to none. He always reinforced to treat those like you would want to be treated. Always looked sharp in his uniform.
