Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Officer Herman:

You were taken from this earth two early. Your death stands out in my mind because it occurred only two weeks after my soon-to-be 18 year old son was born. Your son is only a few months older than mine.

I also read, just this morning, that you were a Surprise Lake Camp alumnus. My daughter has gone there for the past two years and will be working there this summer. My son may work there too. We are planning to make a donation to SLC this year because of their generosity in scholarship when I was out of work. That donation will now go directly to your memorial fund.

May your soul rest in eternal peace and may The Almighty ever watch over your family.

Jeff and I were in the same academy class/squad. Jeff was a sweet heart of a guy. He was an easy guy to like.
I remember the last time we spoke was in Brooklyn central booking one late night. We spoke for some time remembering the good times we had in the Police Academy. I remember him telling me he was married and just had a baby boy. I was so happy for him and his wife.

Not long after our meeting down at central booking I heard the bad news and I was so deeply saddened. All I thought about was his wife and baby son.


My heart goes out to Jeff’s family. You are in my prayers.

Oh my God! This is the first time I have looked up Jeff. Joey is now 17, and Irene is??? I cannot tell you because she would kill me. I was so close to both of them. I lived with them. I cannot tell you what an impact his life had on me. I was there the morning Joey was born and he was telling me every detail. Anyone who knew Jeff, HE WAS INTO DETAIL! He love Irene and Joey so much I cannot tell you. I LOVED HIM. Irene today is my best friend in the whole world. I thank god for Jeff, because, if not for him, I would not have the best friend I have had for the past 18 years. I love Irene, Bebe, and everyone who love Jeff. Please always remember him.

Your memorial on the corner of Bedford Ave and Sullivan Place in Brooklyn is a beautiful and moving portrait.
