Philadelphia Police Officer Charles Cassidy was laid to rest today, after 25 years of service to the City of Philadelphia. He leaves behind a wife, and three children.
Thousands of people turned out for the funeral mass which was held at the Cathedral Basilica of Saints Peter and Paul in Center City Philadelphia
Its no consolation, but at least on the day he was buried, his killer is safely off the street, and will soon be back here in Philadelphia, where the wheels of justice will start turning. He waived his extradition hearing in Miami. He is expected to be back in town Friday. Attached to his wrist will be Officer Cassidy's handcuffs.
I watched a little bit of the funeral mass while I was at the office, as the Archdiocese streamed it through their website, it was very moving.
May God bless his family.
