I had three contacts with Maj.Hurley thru the seventies and eighties as a Police Officer, and he was a Gentleman and Officer in carring out his duties, I was never arrested, but took his wise advice seriously, which made me wiser in my thinking in all of life situations.
Yes Maj. Hurley one person can make a difference and you did..

My deepest sympathy to the family. Major Hurley was a legendary policeman who was highly respected in the community and within the Police Department. His honesty, integrity, and work ethic were outstanding and he was dearly missed in retirement, as he is in death. May he rest in peace.
