In search of fallen cop’s relatives

Philadelphia Daily News

Chief Inspector James Tiano knows that Officer George Barnett was a tenacious warrior who lost his life in a violent shootout with a suspected burglar.But that’s about all he knows.

Tiano and his staff are spearheading efforts to locate relatives of slain officers who are going to be honored during plaque dedication ceremonies, and they need the public’s help in finding some of Barnett’s relatives.

Barnett’s plaque dedication is set for July 22 at 42nd and Pine streets in West Philadelphia, where he died on Nov. 28, 1910.

Tiano said that despite the passage of almost a century, he’s optimistic that someone will recognize Barnett’s name and reach out to his staff before the ceremony.

Anyone with information about Barnett should call Tiano at 215- 685-3655. *

A True Philly Sports Moment

From Philly.com a moving tribute from a son to a respected father.  Rest in Peace Sergeant.

A true Philly sports moment amid the sadness

Slain Police Sgt. Stephen Liczbinski was remembered today as husband, father, dedicated officer and, lest we forget, a huge Flyers fan. LICZBINISKI.jpg
With team scheduled for Game 1 of it playoffs series with Pittsburgh tonight, 24-year-old Matt Liczbinski asked mourners to perform, in honor of his father, what may have been a first-ever Flyers cheer at Sts. Peter and Paul Basilica. Taking a time out from “all the seriousness,” Matt Liczbinski led the congregration in “Let’s Go Fly-ers” chant, complete with da-da-dadada clapping.

Sports, in life and death. That’s Philly, baby.
