10 years gone, RIP Dennis McNamara

 


I’m always amazed in this job at how quickly time goes by.


It seems like yesterday we were reacting to the worst two words that can possibly go out over police radio:


Officer down.


It was 10 years ago that we lost Upper Darby Officer Dennis McNamara.


He is not forgotten. Not by his fellow officers. Not by the citizens of Upper Darby Township, and not by this newspaper.


Yesterday, his widow again bravely stood for her husband as the township dedicated a new gym inside the Upper Darby Police Department in his memory.


You can read the story here.


It’s my sincere hope we never have to do another story like that again.


It’s my worst fear that won’t be the case.
