Political Quotes

“I rise tonight to salute a hero of Montgomery County, PA, and a hero of law enforcement. John Volpe died this week. He was former police chief of Plymouth Township in Montgomery County. For 10 years he was chief; for 34 years he was with the department. He served in an exemplary manner, a great leader, someone who helped reduce crime, increased public safety. And his record was shown to be one of very special character. He was the vice president of the FBI National Academy Associates, president of the Montgomery County Chief of Police Association, a product of Norristown area school district, where he excelled academically and athletically. He was a leader of the Plymouth-White Marsh Exchange Club. But above all, a great father, great husband to Marie, one child in the marriage. He certainly is someone who is a role model and a living embodiment of what is important about a person, someone who gives back to their community, someone who is an example of how to lead life and how to really make a difference in one's community. John Volpe was such a man and a great law enforcement official, someone who will be long remembered and never forgotten. He was a friend of mine, and I know that all of those who are in law enforcement share with me the deep sympathy for the family.”
