Dear Finer Family:
It is with great sadness that I send this message on the loss of Michael, who served with me on the Paterson Police Department. Michael was unique in that he was fearless as a police officer. His dedication to duty was unmatched and it showed in his work performance, whether in uniform or plain clothes. He was a great detective who worked in a team environment and contributed greatly to our mission. He solved many cases and several stand out where he and his partner Jim Woods solved a very difficult homicide case and that was due to their "no quit" spirit. Each of you can be extremely proud of what Michael accomplished in life. He is at peace now and may he always remain in our thoughts and prayers as do each of you.
Sincerely,
James Buckley
