We regret to inform our members andfellow retirees of the passing

From Lou:
I am saddened to inform you of the passing of Barry. I was
notified of his passing by his son David. Barry was the nicest man
you would every want to meet. I knew of Barry while I was on the
job, but never worked for him. I got to know Barry and his wife
Evelyn and became friends through the 20 plus yearly Florida
Reunions. It was a tradition we had for many years, after the
Saturday night banquet Barry, Pat Fiorito, Benny Pepitone and I
would meet outside and smoke a cigar and talk about the Job for
hours. Boy, am I going to miss him at the next reunion In July. He
was such a joy to be around.
Barry was appointed to NYCTPD 5/3/1965 and Retired 7/7/1985. From
what I heard from the men who worked for him, “He was a great boss."
A Memorial Service took place on Sunday, March 27th, at

I received the association’s newsletter and annual membership

father, Sargeant James J. McCarthy (shield #673)
ret. passed away on January 17th, 2021.
Dad was blessed with one hundred years of life and is greatly
missed by his children (Michael, James & Diana) and many
grandchildren and great grandchildren. He survived our mother, Rita
McCarthy, who passed away in 2015 at age nighty-one. They were
blessed with over seventy years of marriage.
Dad had a great send off and is buried in the military cemetery

guard with a local veterans group and a flag ceremony from MacDill

nothing less. I miss them both every day, but I’m confident that
they are both in our Lord’s loving embrace and that I will see them

11/16/1940 – 04/20/2022
From Bill McKechnie
It is with much remorse and
a heavy heart that I have to report a late obituary of my friend and
former partner, (Ret. P.O.)Al Legoff. I received a
call on Thursday from Al's son, Peter, telling me that Al had
passed away on April 20th of this year. Al had been suffering for
several years with dementia and while in a nursing home, he came
down with Covid twice, was hospitalized, and sent back to the
nursing home where he passed. Al was 82years of age when he passed,
leaving behind his wife, Pat, who is also in a nursing home, and I
am told, not doing well. his son Peter, his wife and three
grandchildren.
Al was my partner at West 4th St. in the old
Dist. 4. We worked together for about four years. He was the best
partner a cop could have. He took no nonsense from anyone, and his
name was synonymous with loyalty and dependability. When my wife was
running for mayor, not withstanding that she had a detail provided
by the NYPD, Al volunteered and served as one of her bodyguards and
driver. Men like Al Logoff do not pass this way too often.
Condolences can be sent to Al's son Peter at13-28 135th St
College Point, NY 11356. May Al “Rest in Peace."
Our
deepest condolences and sympathies to the Whalen and Legoff
families. May their departed loved ones Rest in
Peace. |

Hollander:
Lou: It is with deep sorrow in my heart
that I have to say that Judy, my beloved wife of almost 53 years
(August 30th would have been that anniversary) passed away last
evening at 8:30 pm in our home. She always enjoyed the Florida
reunions and seeing old friends. She was truly my better
half.
A Mass and Memorial Service was held on August 4th in
Virginia Beach VA
Kevin and Judy always attended
our Florida reunions even though the last few years she was in a lot
of pain. As much pain as she was in, she was always very pleasant. I
and many others will miss seeing her at the next Florida Reunion.
May Judy "Rest in
Peace”
Cards can be sent to Kevin at

RET. P.O. VICTOR
ANNALORO 6/27/1943 - 05/19/2022
It is with great sadness that I inform you that Victor
Annaloro passed away on May 19,2022 of a heart attack. He
had been fighting numerous health problems for many years. His wife
and best friend, Gehette, passed away 2 ½ years ago unexpectedly
from cancer and he missed her terribly. They were preparing to
celebrate the marriage of their only child, Nina Annaloro, a
Registered Nurse.
After her mother's sudden passing Nina
postponed her wedding to her fiancé George, put her life on hold and
took care of her father until his unexpected death.
Vic was a member of the class of Dec. 1, 1965. He was assigned to
District 5, then on Jan. 1, 1970, moved to District 1 and ended
his career in the O.U. where he worked from 1979 until he
retired in December 1985.
Vic started another career as the Supervisor of Security for the
Limited, a chain of clothing stores, until his retirement from the
chain. Vic had a breadth of knowledge of obscure facts and history.
He had a large following on Facebook where he shared his knowledge
and honest comments on life and politics. Vic also was an avid
photographer and loved to share his photography. He was a noted
historian of the Flushing area having been born and raised in the
area he continued to love, and live in, until his passing. He was
known affectionately as "The Mayor of Flushing". He will be
missed

sympathies to the Annaloro family. May Victor Rest in
Peace.

A BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO BRENDAN 'JOE'
McGARRY |
From the Retirees Association Chaplain Rabbi Harry
Berkowitz
"What does the Lord require of you? But to do justice, and to
love kindness, and to walk humbly" (Micha 6, 8).
My dear and beloved friend,
G-d instructed society to appoint judges in order to preserve
justice in society. But for justice to truly be adjudicated, society
is obligated to appoint police officers to insure that the laws are
respected.
Joe, you represented what G-d had in mind. You truly were an
appendage of G-d spiritually and morally. We all know that it takes
a special person to deal with the day-to-day enforcement of the laws
in preserving the quality of life in society. It is not only the
education, but the gift of understanding on how to properly face the
daily challenges of policing. You were G-d's training officer.
I, personally, will cherish the memory of the wonderful joy you
and your bagpipers brought at all of my childrens' weddings. The
"Luck of the Irish" enhancing our Jewish weddings!
May G-d grant comfort to your beloved family and extended
families as we all grieve your passing. But we take comfort in the
privilege of the opportunity we had in sharing your life with us.
May your name be an eternal blessing for the kindness and
happiness you brought to so many countless people in all walks of
life.
May your soul be bound in the bond of eternal life!
With many tears shed, I, like so many, will miss you.
With my deepest sympathies,
Rabbi Harry Berkowitz Ret. Chief Chaplain New York City

the TPD and the NYPD. I only worked with him for 6 years in TPF but
they were 6 of the best years that I had on the job. Stan always had
my back along with so many others during those years. He was like a
big teddy bear...so easy to love. I, and so many others, will miss
you my dear friend. Until we meet again.

We are very sad to report the passing of a good friend and a
Lifetime Member of this Association. I had the honor of serving as
the Lodge State Trustee with Joe who was the President of FOP Lodge
317 for many years. May he Rest in Peace.

LIFETIME MEMBER RET. POLICE OFFICER BRENDAN “JOE”
McGARRY 06/30/1947
– 04/14/2022
We sorrowfully
regret to inform all our members, our friends, and their families of
the passing of one of the "legends" of the Transit Police
Department, Lifetime Member Ret. P.O. Brendan 'Joe'
McGarry, on Thursday, April 14th, 2022. Joe had been
suffering a very long time with a cancer that started on his only
kidney, led to surgery, and further treatments for the cancer that
had spread through his body.
Joe was a
fighter all the way, keeping to his Marine Spirit, and never giving
up. Ultimately, his treatments started causing serious side effects
that ultimately caused Joe to reluctantly stop his treatment and
decided to remain home with his wonderful family who had been giving
their father loving care. Thankfully, his family members were at his
side when he passed away.
Joe was a
unique person who cared very much for his family and all fellow
officers. He was well liked by all ranks in the Department and had
the reputation of standing up for his men and women as a Delegate in
District 1 to the Transit then NYPD PBAs. He would go out of
his way to help whenever and wherever possible and was a mentor to
many officers. He started a relationship with Sloan-Kettering
Hospital in NYC and, when needed, all it took was a phone call to
get that person in for examination and treatment. Joe was appointed
to the Transit Police on December 26,1972 and retired under the
Heart Bill September 30, 2005.
Services took
place on April 21st to 23rd.
In lieu of
flowers, the family asks that a donation be made to The Tunnel to
Towers Foundation in memory of Brendan McGarry (do
not use Joe, please) The form can be downloaded here: In
Memory of Online Form (t2t.org)
Condolences may be sent
to Joe's daughter, Colleen Kobayashi, 90 Merritt St.,
Lindenhurst NY 11757 and she will pass it on to her brothers and
sisters.
You may also post at the funeral home website when
his name is posted Bellmore Funeral Home: Since
1940 - Bellmore Funeral Home
Joe was a very good friend, not only to myself, but
to many others in the Transit Police Department. Your suffering is
over, Joe, may you Rest in
Peace.
