"Biggest lake trout of my life!". Most fishermen want to talk about the epic battle that resulted in a personal best catch. Corbett gets more excited talking about the release.

Officer William Kocher
John Marcon said.. "While walking at the Erie Canal trail in Camillus I spotted this memorial bench for Bill Kocher. In case anyone would like to sit awhile and remember a great friend
Carolyn Kocher.. "We had it blessed by our Deacon Bob Fangio at Holy Family on July 4th. Bill loved walking the canal and spent many, many hours there getting exercise and fresh air. One day he had a physical issue that had him seeking out a bench next to the path where he could rest until his system returned to normal. I never forgot that and is the main reason having a bench for anyone using the Canal who might need a rest, tie a shoe, read a book or more serious circumstances and it will be available. Bill was a good guy and a humble guy and would be so touched by all the support we continue to receive to this day from his "Police Family" Bless you all."
