Congratulations to Capt. Frank Fallon upon his retirement. I have had the privilege of knowing Frank and the entire Fallon family for over thirty years. Frank used to run the Projector for me at St. Thomas The Apostle School when he was in Elementary School. I observed first hand his burning desire to serve the West Hartford Community at an early age. As most in Law Enforcement know, the Fallon Family has served with Honor and Distinction in both Hartford, and West Hartford. There is no doubt he will be missed, but I wish him nothing but good luck and good fortune. It was an honor to work with him for a brief time, and I wish him the very best. (Great Cop!!)
Off. John Looby, WHPD Ret.
