Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 5 President John McNesby, members of the Philadelphia Highway Patrol, police from throughout the Delaware Valley and attorney James Binns delivered Christmas dinners to the families of fallen police officers on Dec. 23 and 24.
The motorcade began its journey in Bucks County on Monday morning by visiting the family of Stephen Liczbinski. As the tour continued south, the officers visited the families of Brian Lorenzo, Chris Milito, Gary Skerski, Joseph Sczerba, Moses Walker, John Pawlowski, Chuck Cassidy, Isabel Nazario, Timothy Simpson, Patrick McDonald, Andrew Stackwicz, Josh Miller, Paul Ritchie and Blake Coble.
The following day, officers delivered dinners to the families of Brad Fox, Scott Wertz, Kyle Pagerly and Mike Wise.
Each year at Easter, Thanksgiving and Christmas, the FOP sponsors similar tours to show its ongoing support for the families of officers who were killed or critically injured in the line of duty. ••
