Death leaves a heartache no one can heal, love leaves a memory no one can steal. The members of our CopNET family would like to thank Larry Barr for his dedication and service to the citizens of Philadelphia. The passing of Larry will be broadcast to our 3,488 members shortly and we would like to extend our sincere condolences to his family. His absence from our ranks will be deeply missed by the remaining members of Philadelphia's Finest who were fortunate to have served with him during his police career. He will continue in our thoughts and prayers during our remaining days. "Until we meet again, my friend, may God Hold you in the palm of his hand. " . . .
Semper Fidelis.
