I knew John Puchir as "Red" when he and my father worked at Ossining Hardware on Saturdays. My family lived over the store from 1950 to 1959. Mike, Reds brother, owned the hardware store and had Red, Fred and my father work most Saturdays. They all were my car wash customers in the back yard of the store. I used water from Mr. Maultby, the next door neighbor. That helped me buy my first car at age 15, in 1955. In 1962, I was working at the store unloading a pickup truck when Red approached me and suggested I try for the Parkway Police. I was appointed to the Pkwy. Police in 1966. Capt. Puchir (as I now had to call him) was my mentor. The greatest guy, ALWAYS smiling. Never got to thank him. My future is secured because of him. Love Ya, buddy!

From Scotland, so sorry for your loss. If I could, I would be there in person. Many wonderful memories of times at family gatherings and in my brief spell as a Special Patrolman in 1965 with the WCPP, knowing 'Red' was around to keep an eye out for me.
A truly wonderful man with such a loving family. Will never forget his distinct voice, clear and precise, when needed, it would be strong and yet you always could hear joy and humour. Will always remember the time he took to speak with my oldest son Andrew at the Poppa reunion in 1999 on our visit at that time. He will be missed here in this world, but knowing he is with other family and cousins that journeyed ahead. When my turn comes, I hope we'll meet and catch up once
again and talk of his days on Princess Street, Edinburgh, Scotland and let him know the Flower Clock is still there. Love you 'Red' and all my love and thoughts to Jane, Susan, Steven and all family members and friends.
