Debbie, Patrick, Meghan, Brendan, Colleen & the entire McCabe Family,
John was a larger than life person who had a smile that was contagious & would light up a room. I loved when I would ask him how he was doing and he would answer "Livin the Dream". And he did live his dream. He was adored by his family & friends and loved them with all his heart.
I love you John and may you rest in peace.

Debbie and Family,

You have my Deepest Sympathies and Heartfelt Condolences for the loss of John. I knew John for more than forty (40) years. Although, we were never assigned together, we were friends.

After retirement, I was lucky enough to work for John in his PI business. We spent a lot of hours together through the Good Times and the Thin Times.

God does not send us many forty year friends and John was the very best!!! I am truly heartbroken at his passing.

My only comfort is that John is now Young, Pain Free as he patrols the streets of Heaven!!!

Mrs. McCabe and family,
Please accept my very deepest condolences on John's passing. I went to Dedham High, and John was in my class. I remember him as funny, full of personality, and a great guy. I was amazed at his vast accomplishments as an officer of the law, and I can imagine how proud you are of him. You will be in my prayers for God's peace and strength.
