I entered the NYPD in 1957 but during those years I knew Phil Foran, I was a young kid on the block. I remember going to the fights at Madisn Square Garden with the master. His obituary got him right. While it has been many decades since I last saw Phil, I still remember him. He not only impressed me with his job skills but I enjoyed his company. May he rest in peace.
