Boston Police Detective
Myles "Buddy" McGrail
(1930-1999)

             Buddy was a retired Boston Police Detective.  He was the recipient of two
        Boston Police Department Medals of Honor. Buddy died on July 18, at the
        age of 69.    He was born in Dorchester, and lived most of his life in Hyde Park.
            He was living in So. Dennis on Cape Cod at the time of his passing. 

                   One medals was bestowed for jthe following incident...

            Buddy and another Offiicer were on duty in the Intown area of Boston. While
       they were talking, an alarm went off in one of the Jewelry Buildings.  Buddy and 
      the other policeman responded  into the building, and encountered the fleeing robbers
                                 in the lobby. 

                The robbers opend fire on the Officers. In the ensuing gun battle, 
            Buddy's partner was shot and killed, and  Buddy suffered a vicious 
                               kick to the groin.

          Although reeling from his severe injury, and in severe pain, he managed to struggle 
     to his feet, pursue one of the robbers for over a block, and effect the apprehension at 
                                  gunpoint. 

             Buddy,  a Veteran of the Korean War, is survived by his wife Ann, his sons
         Michael G., and Daniel J.  He is also the grandfather of Danny, Julie, Timmy, 
                             and Michael McGrail.

              He has been laid to rest in the Bourne National Cemetary in Bourne, Ma. 
 

 
It is with sadness that we must 
announce the passing of
Rear Admiral

       The Admiral's dedicated service to his country made America and the World, a safer place. 
                      Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family.
