The Egg Harbor Township Police Department has released terrible news.

By chance, I just happened to arrive on the scene right after this fatal crash occurred during  my travels through Egg Harbor Township.

Joe Falcone, a recently retired Atlantic City Police Sergeant, was pronounced deceased at the scene.

Falcone leaves behind a wonderful wife and multiple young children.

We have spoken with multiple retired police officers who worked directly with Falcone, including my twin Brother, Don Hurley.

He was a great police officer and a decent and honorable man.

Here is the Egg Harbor Township official press release as follows:
