Officer Cassidy unknowingly walked into a Dunkin Donuts on North Broad Street during an armed robbery.

Action News spoke with his widow, Judy, who is now a grandmother.

"Her name is Charlie and she was born the day after Chuck's birthday," said Judy Cassidy. "I think that brought a lot of life back into everyone's life."

On Wednesday, a vigil will be held in Officer Cassidy's honor.



And every year there is also golf outing which raises money to provide scholarships to students.
