Two things came to mind when I attended the massive block party held in honor of retired Greenwich police officer Antonio Rivera at the foot of Greenwich Avenue this afternoon:
- Tony is one beloved guy; I don’t know him, but he must be one special human being. Tony is fighting a number of illnesses that has left him with failing kidneys and blindness.
- It is great to see the Greenwich police come together as a Band of Brothers on behalf of one of their own; it makes residents feel that this is a special force.
BTW, you don’t have to wait for special events to assist Greenwich officers. The Greenwich Police Silver Shield Association has been on my list for annual charitable donations since I moved here. It should be on everybody’s list.
Great event and wonderful to see all the town people show up to support such a great cause!
