r Valo DS AWAR Friended The NJ State PBA recognized friends whose valor has contributed greatly to the organization Super Friend Jeff Rosen, Director of Lending to America’s Heroes for Annie Mac Home Mortgage, received the PBA’s Friend in Labor Award. “I don’t know how Jeff finds time to write any mortgages because he is always out supporting the events of our Locals and the State PBA,” noted PBA President Pat Colligan. d Mutual Friends Business Appreciation Awards were given to Rivoli’s Restaurant in Toms River and DeLorenzo’s Pizza in Trenton, which have each hosted PBA events and made generous donations to Locals and the State PBA. d More than just Friends Saving the best for last, the Valor Awards gave special recognition to its most important partners: Executive VicePresident Marc Kovar’s wife, Nicole, (left) and President Pat Colligan’s wife, Lynette (center). d Among Friends Mitch and Dan as we are known to the NJ State PBA (Dan Rappoport is on the left, Mitchell Krugel is on the right) are humbled and overwhelmed to be recognized with the Friend in Media Award for publishing NJ Cops Magazine. We wanted to write this thank-you note to express our gratitude to all PBA members who allow us to chronicle the life-changing service you perform every day. You make it a privilege to tell your stories. We’d also like to thank Pat Colligan, Marc Kovar and the entire NJ State PBA team for the opportunity be your partner and Past-President Tony Wieners for starting this journey. Our greatest gratitude, of course, is to John Hulse who does more to make NJ Cops as great as it is and for inspiring us to tell the stories. d www.njcopsmagazine.com ■ DECEMBER 2015 69
