They decided it would be a great idea to start a pharmacy association on the state level; New Jersey may have been the very first state as...

Pierre built his career as a licensed truck driver, a job he genuinely enjoyed, as it allowed him to travel, to be outside, and to see the sights. He had an enthusiasm for motorcycles and enjoyed taking road trips up the east coast, with New Hampshire being a favorite destination. There, he took pleasure in camping, fishing, and relaxing with his wife, children, and many cherished biker buddies.

A loyal New York Giants fan, Pierre never wavered in his support, win or lose. Music was his second great passion, a true old-school, vinyl-spinning, rock ‘n’ roller. He knew every word of every song across all genres, and loved going to concerts with his children, or simply jamming at home in his recliner.

It came at a time when public trust in law enforcement had been tested, and organizers saw the need to show officers that their work is recognized and appreciated.

Each year on January 9, communities across the United States take time to recognize the men and women who keep our neighborhoods safe. Here's how you can participate

For the past 30 years, Steve worked as an insulator and was a proud member of Union Local 33, serving as Union President for five years. When not working, Steve could often be found on his motorcycle, riding alongside his friends, frequently taking his Frenchie, “Harley,” along for rides by the beach.

Every week, Steve looked forward to dinner with his “Thursday Night Crew” and breakfast at the diner each weekend. He was immensely proud of his children’s accomplishments and never missed a softball game for Alyssa or a hockey game for Stephen. Over the years, he especially cherished coaching Stephen in hockey, and together they enjoyed attending weekly hockey games at West Haven High School.
