Past International Secretary Peter Dominziano's Passing

by Robert Freeman on 06/06/18

It is with the deepest regret I report the passing of a Past International Secretary and long time Blue Knight member Peter Dominziano from Connecticut and Florida XVII. Peter passed after a long battle with non alcoholic related  cirrhosiss of the liver. He had moved with his wife to Texas as he progressed with this disease, to be with his sons family, a military doctor.

 Family making arrangements in Georgetown Texas, and a Blue Knight memorial will be scheduled for later this year by the family, for an internment in Connecticut.

Please keep the Dominziano family in your thoughts and prayers during this time of sorrow.

We are able to add custom graphics to ANY shield that we make or OEM replacements.

Officer Davon McKenzie was off-duty when his motorcycle was struck by a vehicle along Interstate 495 in the Largo area around 11 p.m. on May 28. He died from his injuries a short time later at a nearby hospital.
McKenzie was assigned to the Bureau of Patrol and joined the Prince George's County Police Department in March of 2017. He was 24 years old and worked as a School Resource Officer at William Wirt Middle School in Riverdale.
Attention Blue Knights members both far and wide! On December 4, 2019, Kirk Williams from Maryland I transferred from chapter to Heaven I. To grieve this loss, Kirk leaves behind a wife of 34 years and two adult children. While speaking with Kirk's wife, Maxine, it was learned that she was a patch collector, which she thoroughly enjoyed.. We are seeking assistance from our Brothers and Sisters at this time by asking if you can help us enhance Maxine's collection thereby giving her an outlet to work through her grief. If you are able to assist, please send the patch to: Blue Knights Maryland - I, P.O. Box 52, Bladensburg, Maryland 20710.

Thank you in advance and remember, RIDE WITH PRIDE!

Fellow Blue Knights, 

It is with great sadness that we must advise all of passing of the Founder of the Blue Knights, Ed Gallant, transferred to the Heaven 1 chapter. A very modest and humble man who loved the Blue Knights, it was his idea to start the club in 1974. 

What began as a single chapter with 7 members has grown to almost 16,000 members, 599 chapters, in 31 countries. Ed nor any of the Founding Fathers had any clue it would ever get to where it is today.

Please keep his lovely wife Maggie and Ed’s family in your thoughts and prayers. He is now riding again with fellow Heaven 1 chapter members and Founding Fathers Doug Minor, Joel Rudom, Chuck Gessner, and Bill Robinson. Thank you for your friendship and rest in paradise Ed you'll be missed. 

DJ Alvarez 

Past International President
