Rusty Staub: 1944-2018
“My mother’s brother was a policeman killed in the line of duty in New Orleans. I was just a little kid, sitting on my bed with my mom and my brother saying the rosary, and I never got over that. Then, in 1984, I was sitting in my old restaurant when a cop I knew was killed, leaving a wife and three kids. I remember saying to [longtime friend and foundation cofounder] Frank [Brennan]: ‘Someone needs to do something about this.’”-Rusty Staub [New York Daily News]
