Patrolman Metaxis,
On today, the 30th anniversary of your death I would just like to say thank you for your service and sacrifice-not just for your Community but for our Country as well when you served with the U.S. Army in Vietnam. And to your Family and loved ones, I wish to extend my deepest sympathy.

RIP, Louie. As I recall, you worked in the Team Police Unit and was working in one of the housing projects in Southie. I was a patrolman in the new Dist. 6 sta. that opened up on W Broadway that year. You wouldn’t recognize Dist. 6 (South Boston) today, bro. Different place from the Southie we worked in 30 years ago. RIP.

It has been 29 years today since my good friend and former partner, Lou Metaxas, passed away from injuries he sustained in the line of duty. I still think about the good times we had, and will continue to miss my buddy Lou for the rest of my life. R.I.P. Lou.

Patrolman Mataxas, it has now been 29 years since your tragic passing. Know full well, you are not forgotten and that your sacrifice and the life you lead beforehand, is still honored here.

God Bless you Brother and may your continued eternal rest be ever peaceful.

I pass by the corner where the plaque commemorating Officer Metaxas has been placed. I take a moment whenever the red light forces me to wait to remember those who served and died in the line of duty.

My job doesn't require me to face that prospect on a daily basis. Thank you to those of you who have the courage to do so.

As my brother's best friend, Lou was like family, another big brother to me. After all these years I can still hear his voice and his easy laugh as we sat around my family's kitchen table.

It is still a shock.

Lou was a post-college roommate, and later, one of my police partners. We were like brothers. It has been 22 years and I have never forgotten my buddy Lou.
