OCEAN CITY, Md. - The bodies of two Ocean City police officers have been recovered after their plane went down in the ocean Sunday.
The bodies of Thomas Geoghegan Jr., 43, and Joshua Adickes, 27, were found by dive teams in the wreckage Monday, according to a Maryland State Police news release.

ReplyDeleteAs a fan of aerobatics flying, at least they died doing what they loved. God bless them and their families. I wish to extend my deepest sympathies to these fine officers' families.
ReplyDeletePraying for these families at this time.
ReplyDeleteGod bless them and their families, and the whole OCPD dept. Also all those who saw what happened and made the recovery so swift even in the threat of a tornado and rough seas I am sure. God Bless.
ReplyDeleteWhen you work in OC you end up meeting many of the officers and though I didn't know Officer Adickes I did know Officer Geoghegan who was Tom-my computer guy to me as well as an officer with the OCPD.
ReplyDeleteI can't remember exactly when we met but it was around 6 or 7 years ago and it's too numerous to count the time I called on him for computer help and advice.
He was always patience and level headed walking me through fixing the computer or learning new tasks when many times I felt like throwing the computer in the trash.
Several times he stopped what he was doing and came in person to fix problem because I'm some what high strung and get frustrated easily. I could never get him to take anything though I did get him to come over for dinner with us one time.
These attributes of patience, level headedness and willingness to go the extra mile for people was what made him an asset to the PD. I feel very fortunate to have known him.
