I worked as second in command to Chief Pollett for over one year for the Upper Dublin Police Department before leaving to become a Chief in Western Pa.  Chief Pollett taught me how to be a chief. I remember sitting in my office one morning with my door open.  Ray stopped at the door and looked towards me.  I looked up and greeted him.  He put his right hand to his forehead and he greeted me with a salute and holding it there until I returned it.  From then on, I knew that we had to offer one salute a day to the chief.  I carried that practice to my new job in Western Pa. and before long, other chief's were doing the same.  It is a sign of respect..a good thing.

Ray invitefd me, my wife, Det. Heubach and his wife along with him and Gloria for  few days at his brother's place in NJ.  He treatee us generously and was a great host.

I had plans to meet up with Ray, but it never happened and I will miss him.

May you RIP.
