10-13 FOR THE LATE RET. NYPD DETECTIVE CARL BOCKER
Saturday, September 16th
The late Ret. Det. Carl Bocker was a twenty four year old kid when he was hired by the NYC Transit Police Department as a rookie police officer. He grew up in a family of police officers, so it was in his blood to follow tradition. He wore badge #2375 with pride for over twenty years of service to the citizens of New York.
Carl worked at various locations throughout his career; from the Bronx to Staten Island. Carl began his career patrolling as a foot cop, uniformed radio car partner, range instructor and finally a seasoned veteran detective. It didn’t matter if you were a stranger or a long time friend; he always had a helping hand and a smile.
Carl retired from the New York City Police Department in 2000 to spend more time with his loving wife Sheila and their young daughter Cecelia. He had devoted his life to the NYPD and was now giving time back to his family. When New York City was struck by terrorists on September 11, 2001, although retired, Carl responded to the scene to do whatever he could to assist. He was there, as always, to help others in need.
Carl was diagnosed with cancer in 2008 and he fought like hell to beat it. He had good days and bad days but he never gave in. Sadly on August 23, 2010, his family, friends and colleagues laid Carl to rest. He is now patrolling heaven. We all know he couldn’t drive, so stay out of his way.
Now it is our turn to help. We are asking for assistance to establish a scholarship fund for Carl’s beloved sixteen year old daughter Cecelia. It is our wish that Carl rest knowing that what he started will not be left undone.
A fundraiser will be held on September 16th, 2010 at the Oceanside Firehouse located at 36-15 South Oceanside Road, Oceanside NY. We hope to see you there!

2011 NYC TRANSIT POLICE FLORIDA REUNION
If you missed the 2010 Florida reunion you miss the best. If you doubt me ask any of these people (Click Here). We will be hosting the 2011 reunion at the same hotel - The Radisson Resort At The Port in Cape Canaveral, Florida June 10th – 12th 2011. Notices will be sent out towards the end of October and the hotel will start taking reservations at that time. Mark your calendars, tell your friends. Make it a point to attend.
This year’s reunion was the best. Next years, we think, will be bigger and better. I think this reunion will be a sellout.
