There will be a Memorial Mass for retired Det. First Grade John F. Daly, who passed away at age 92 in Portsmouth, Virginia on January 28, 2025.
The Memorial Mass will be held beginning at 3:00 p.m. on Sunday, March 9, 2025, at St. Luke’s Church at 340 North Franklin Turnpike in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey 07423.
Det. Daly was appointed to the force on February 20, 1956. He earned his gold shield on August 16, 1964, and second grade in 1982. He earned first grade in 1988, and retired in 1989, out of Detective Borough Manhattan South, although he served most of his career in the 106 Squad. Among the many cases he solved in his 33 years with the NYPD was the robbery and murder of Transit Det. George Caccavale in 1976. The DEA published a story about his relationship with the Caccavale family in the fall 2021 edition of The Gold Shield magazine.
Det. Daly was a warm, sincere, outgoing, and remarkable man who will be deeply missed. Our hearts go out to his family and friends. May he rest in peace.
