My deepest condolences. I will always remember Flori as one of the top cops in Saddle Brook who truly believed in pride, integrity, honesty, dignity, and service to the people of Saddle Brook. Those same characteristics were passed along to his our own children.
He now joins my Dad, and the others from SBPD that we have lost over the years. He will be deeply missed.
God Bless you Chief.
