LATE NOTIFICATION
RET. P.O. ANGELO PEZZULLO & RET. P.O. THOMAS DOWELL |
President Ed Russo received the following
information and was in touch with Officer Carter:
Hello my name is Officer Jim Carter with the Las Vegas Metro PD.
I would just like to pass onto you that retired NYC Transit Police
Officer Angelo Pezzullo passed away last year. I came across your web
site and saw that his name was not mentioned. I worked with Angelo for the
last 8 years with the Las Vegas Police Dept. and enjoyed the stories that he
shared with me. I know he came on the job in the mid 60's and retired after
15 years and then came and worked for the Las Vegas Metro PD for 28 years. I
was wondering if you come across any pictures of him, I would surely
appreciate it if you could get in touch with me and send them so I can give
them to his wife. I talked with Angelo's widow and she told me he worked at
Stillwell Avenue, Coney Island. I believed it was District 35 and he
also worked out of Brooklyn a lot. Hey, thanks for everything. I got some
responses and you guys are great! I truly miss him a lot. He was
a good partner and I loved the stories.
Thanks again for your time,
Jim CarterIf anyone wishes to contact Officer
Carter, you can reach him at
J4144C@LVMPD.COM
We subsequently received the following information from
Angelo's widow, Maureen Pezzullo:
Dear Officer Russo:
I am the widow of Retired Transit Police
Officer Angelo J. Pezzullo. Angelo died suddenly last November of
pancreatic cancer. He was diagnosed 10 days prior to his death. Angelo
worked for most of his Transit career out of District 35 in Coney Island
(Stillwell Avenue). He took a vested retirement in July, 1980 and
proceeded to work as a Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Officer here in Las
Vegas until August of 2007.
After Angelo retired from the LVMPD on August
1, 2007, he was informed that GHI/Empire had to be his primary
insurance. At that time he contacted the PBA in New York and upgraded his
coverage. We received a phone call while he was in the hospital that the
upgrade went through, but do not have any other information.
I have been extremely distressed these past 8
months and have been unable to contact anyone regarding his death benefit
through the PBA. Is there any way you can check on this for me? I did
return his last Pension Check from NYCERS and received a reduced check
subsequently. However, NYCERS would tell me nothing regarding death
benefits. It was very frustrating and I was transferred around and given
phone numbers that didn't work.
Angelo was a law enforcement officer for 42
years. He loved the job both in New York and in Las Vegas. It was his
life. The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department gave him an officer's
burial in the courtyard of our church, with a 21 gun salute, even though
he had retired 3 1/2 months prior to his sudden death.
I received the picture you sent Officer Jim
Carter in Las Vegas of Angelo and had never seen it before, although
Angelo and I were married 37 years. I can't believe how much it resembles
our son Chris.
Thank you for you time. If there is anything
I need to know regarding his death benefits, I would appreciate your
assistance. Again, thanks for your support.
Sincerely,
Maureen Pezzullo
11401 Rancho Portena Avenue
Las Vegas, NV 89138
President Russo has been in touch with Maureen and with
help from Bill McKechnie, was able to offer information on her
requests.
From Lou Hollander, we received this obituary
notice:

informed me that Tom had a long and bitter battle with cancer. He had it
in remission several times, but the battle was just too long and too hard.
Tommy was 48 yrs. old.Services were held on
Thursday, August 14th and burial took place after a Funeral Mass on
Friday, August 15th.
Thomas Dowell was appointed to the NYCTPD

JOSEPH DWYER, SON OF RET. LT. PATRICK DWYER |
|
We received the following notification from Ret. Lt.
Patrick Dwyer. His son, Joseph, passed away on Saturday,
June 28 at the age of 31. The following is a reprint of an article in the
The Pilot newspaper in Southern Pines, NC.
'Well Earned Rest': Troubled
Army Medic Remembered During Funeral
BY MATTHEW MORIARTY: STAFF WRITER
A bagpiper played "Amazing Grace" Wednesday under a blue
sky as Joseph Dwyer's four brothers and his sister slid his flag-draped
coffin into the back of a hearse.
Family and friends had just gathered before the altar at
St. Anthony of Padua Catholic Church to say their final goodbye to the
31-year-old Dwyer, a former soldier who had become both a symbol of the
good America has done during the war in Iraq and, now, another of that
war's many hidden casualties.
According to his family, Dwyer suffered from
post-traumatic stress disorder. He died Saturday at his Pinehurst home,
the victim of an apparent overdose.
Dwyer gained fame in 2003 during the early days of the
war when a picture of him carrying an Iraqi child to safety appeared on
the front page of several publications and on television news accounts. He
was a U.S. Army medic who joined up shortly after the 9/11 terrorist
attacks. Some likened the impact of that photo to the famous "Raising the
Flag on Iwo Jima" photo taken in 1945.
After Dwyer returned from the war, he was never able to
completely rejoin society, according to his family members. "Those of us
who have been closest to Joseph during these past five years know of the
immense continual suffering that he experienced," his father, Patrick
Dwyer, said during the service. "And we know the peace he is now feeling.
"I am certain that our Lord, in his limitless mercy, considered Joseph's
suffering as penance, along with his Christian ideals, and his kind
generous nature when he decided on Joseph's eternal reward."
Condolences can be sent to Pat at
pdmd@live.com
Our deepest
condolences and sympathies to the Dwyer family. May Joseph rest in
peace.

RET. SGT. MARTIN Mc KEON
PAST PRESIDENT OF THE RETIREES ASSOCIATION |
|
It is with deep regret we inform our members and friends
of the sudden passing away of our 2nd Vice-President and Past President
of the NYC Retired Transit Police Officers Association, Ret. Sgt. Martin J.
McKeon on Friday, May 16th at the age of 67 years.
Marty had been the Association President for the years 2004 to 2008
when he stepped down to a less strenuous position on the Executive Board.
He had been leading the Association's fight for the passing of the
VSF Legislation that would give the benefit to many retirees who were so
unjustly denied their right.
Marty was appointed to the Transit Police on June 1, 1965
and retired on February 1, 1986. His last assignment had been in the
Operations Unit.
Marty had suffered a heart attack that brought him to St.
Francis Hospital, The Heart Center, this past Wednesday where he and his
family were given all courtesies extended by his fellow Transit Police
Family members in the Security Department. Following a triple bypass,
certain complications set in that led to his heart failing. All
possible steps by the staff were performed to keep Marty around but
unfortunately his heart finally gave out.
The wake was held at the Barnes & Sorrentino Funeral Home located
at 539 Hempstead Avenue, West Hempstead, NY 516-481-8870, on Monday &
Tuesday, May 19-20.
A Funeral Mass was celebrated on Wednesday, May 21st
at 10AM at St. Thomas The Apostle RC Church
24 Westminster Road, West Hempstead, followed by a cremation
of the remains.
The Association would like to thank Members Joe McGarry and Bill McMillan
for their help in having a Bagpiper at the Church. We also
appreciate the help of Honorary Member Kevin Matthews for his
contacting the Nassau Police Department to provide RMP escorts for
the funeral procession. Finally, our thanks go out to the NYPD
Honor Guard for their presence and assistance at the funeral Mass.
Marty went out in style and we will miss him.
Condolences and sympathies may be sent to Marty's wife,
Rosemary at their home:
211 Wilson Street, West Hempstead, NY 11552-2411
Our deepest condolences and sympathies to the McKeon
family. May Marty rest in peace. |

all over again he would have been a "Transit Cop" Through my circle of
friends Chuck got to know many Transit cops and became friends with
them. He got involved with the Transit Police Emerald Society,
attending more then 10 Emerald Granit Weekends, went on almost all their
fishing trips, and took part in all their functions, including helping
them out with their annual Christmas party. The Emeralds made him a
Honorary member, which he took a lot of pride in. He was also an
Honorary member of the The Transit Memorial FOP Lodge #317. Chuck
was also a familiar face within the PBA during Bill McKechnie's
Administration as he volunteered helping them out with various
functions. Chuck was a huge asset to me when I started the NYC Transit
Police Florida Reunion in 1997. He was proud to be part of the reunion
committee and always looked forward to coming to Florida every year for
them. I last spoke to Chuck last week, the day after he got out of the
hospital. I told him he has to get well because we we need him at the
reunion in August. He told me "Don't worry, I'll be there." Chuck
leaves behind his wife Kathy, sons Thomas and Robert, who is a PO & PBA
Delegate in the 112Pct
( formally of District 2 and E & S), son Justin and 2 grandchildren.
"Rest in peace my friend, you will be missed."
