Everyone i know this is alittle late as i have only found out about Jason's passing monday, with detials being very limited. But i attended Pace University with Jason and took many classes with him through out my 4 years at pace. Jason was a excelant student and a friend. His greatest desire in life was to become a police officer, he graduated Pace University in May of 2005 and i am glad he was able to attain his dream even if only for a short time.

I, too, attended Pace with Jason and shared many classes with him throughout our 4 year education. He interned during his Junior year with the NYPD, where he was detailed to One Police Plaza. He graduated the Essex County Police Academy two months ago and was Sworn to the South Orange Police Department on March 13 of this year. Although it was only for a short time, Jason attained his dream and served the department with the same passion for the job that he displayed in a college classroom. May he rest in peace and may we all keep him in our prayers.

HFD and Wolf,

Sorry for the loss of your friend. May he rest in peace. Was this a LODD or a sudden illness?
