I had the honor of serving with "Boston's Finest" on the Boston Police Department from 1969 to 1994. I was  attached to the "Mounted Unit" for 14 years, the "ID Unit" (fingerprints, photographs, crime scenes) for 1 year,  "Warrant Unit"   for 1 year  and "Routine Patrol" for 9 years.

.
 "MOUNTED UNIT WAS THE BEST" .

 

    I retired on May 31st, 1994 and moved from Boston to 5 1/4 acres in the country in Dickson County, Tennessee. I share my home with Astrid, my wife of 43 years, my daughter Kristine and her husband,  Doni. I have 4 children, Denise (North Dakota), Kathy (Massachusetts), Michael(Virginia) and Kristine. I also have 9 grandchildren, Patrick, Collin, Kyle, Callie, Katie, Frankie, Benjamin, Joshua, and Kayley.  Running on my property are 2 horses, 1 pony, 1 cat, my dog and 6 of my daughters adopted dogs.
