Today… I told my 3 children stories of you. They were wide eyed to know the little fun facts about you. How much you loved to drive, talk, and truly show up to help community. The just kept saying “Grandpa Eddie sounds soooo cool!”

I can say, you hit me harder than usual this year than past years. I’ve gone through some major life transitions this past year. I felt like you and your son (my father) were by my side each step of the way.

My oldest child tells God “thank you for taking care of my grandpa!” Every night in his evening prayers. And he continues to pray for your wife (my grandmother). I thank God for DNA, and carrying on your legacy through actions, care, and kindness for others. It brings me so much joy and fulfillment. I can understand why you chose this line of duty.

Your family is forever grateful for the sacrifices you made. It’s gotten a lot of us to where we’re at now.

I get so much joy out of carrying this name. So much so, I made sure my oldest has it too!

And man… I love that wife of yours called my grandma. That woman is a walking epitome of strength, focus, and wisdom! I see why you married her! Without her love for you, I wouldn’t know you!

Love you, and thank you for being our guardian angel! In Jesus name… Amen.

My dearest Peter, 48 years today you went to work and did not come home to me. Life has not been the same. Today you brothers and sisters in blue had a beautiful memorial service for you at your precinct. It was so nice to hear all the wonderful things said about you even though I already knew. It felt good to be with your family and my family too. Miss you and love you always.

Grandad,

Never met you, but know so much about you. You blood, your spirit, and your name continue to carry through me. Words can’t explain how there are days that I say “I wonder what our relationship would have been like?” I sometimes wonder how much of you I truly am.

Today marks a day you left us. But know your legacy continues through me, and your great grand children. I say my name with so much honor, knowing that you were so selfless to society. Giving your life. I do my best to live a selfless life everyday. Simple because it’s who we are. I hope you know your amazing wife, has shown incredible strength over all these years. It’s allowed me to truly be who I want to be. Understanding my place in the world.

Thank you! I love you!

Dearest Peter, another year today when you were taken from me. All you did was go to work and did not come home, just like that. It’s a hard pill to swallow even 46 years later,
Yesterday your family in Blue gave you memorial service at the new 34th precinct and we were invited. It was a wonderful tribute to you. I know you were watching and smiling your big smile down on us because being a NYC Policeman was your dream.
Peter I will always love and remember you. Rest in peace with our son.

My dearest Peter, 45 years ago today, you went to work and that was the end. I still have a hard time believing it. I had to say something to you today when my life change so drastically.

I can't believe it's 45 years, Brother. May you continue to rest in eternal peace. I will never forget your guidance in the right direction when I was growing up in the Heights, or your laughter at some of the dumb things I said as a teen. Because of what you taught me, I made sure I never tarnished my shield.

I woke up this morning not wanting to return to work in the middle of this pandemic, however thanking God for the opportunity to see another day is a blessing within itself. Then, I’m reminded of the day we lost you. Even though your time on earth was cut short, the impact you made will live on forever.

Rest Easy Peter!!!
Forever My Hero!
