Your Blackhawks went all the way this year. I know you're proud. And you had the best seat in the house!

PS - I was coming back from the Mag Mile tonight and let me tell you it was scary, if you get my drift. Nudge nudge, wink wink...
Prayers and thoughts for the memory of honorable Officer Rick Francis and thanks to his family for their ultimate sacrifices. May he rest in peace.
a caring citizen who lived in his district

I am just reading this now at 0200 hours. I am really sorry I missed this. Thank You to all those that were able to go.
I was there with friends, co workers and bosses for Rick and his family.....
JFLED wasn't! He must of been too busy???!!!
Maybe spending some quality time with his cats
Nice service. Good turn out
I did not know Rick, I would be willing to bet he was Revolver Police- The real Police.
we small band of Brothers from the Emerald Society pipes and drums were honored to pay tribute to you and yours sir. and will be there every year god willing. thank JD for the invite and LT.S I grew up around 019, Dads was a 27 year vet there. to the 019 officers it was my honor.AB Lead Stick
Two years ago our brother Rick was killed because he was working midnights in a 1-man car. We're still working midnights in 1-man cars all over the city and that is an atrocity. I pray each and every day that we do not lose someone else because of this insane operational policy. May Rick rest in peace and be in our prayers always.
Just reading about it now. Would have been there if I had known. Rick was a great guy.

Have to disagree w/ you there. There was no more than 75 Officers in attendance.
How soon we forget...
RIP Officer Francis.
The stories of your selfless dedication to your family and fellow officers inspires me to this day.

Since were talking about great people here, with Rick Francis walking the point, out front...
Let's not take for granted our pipe bands and Honor Guard members that continually do us proud.
Unfortunately it's only on occasions like this that their efforts and dedication are noticed.
In my world I'm grateful for them, one and all.
RIP Brother Rick!

God Bless our fallen brother and his family! Thank you for doing The Job!
Let's be careful out there, we WILL all go home at the end of every tour - the good guys are always supposed to win!
RIP
