His wake was attended by at least a thousand people yesterday at McLaughlin Funeral, and as I am typing this, his casket is being transferred to St. Aedan Church on Bergen Avenue for funeral mass.

I heard the procession is long, and the traffic is heavy. Streets are closed and no-parking zones are implemented.

Mourners will continue to Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington for the burial.

[UPDATE] Pictures of the Procession this morning:

Slideshow contains photos of procession only. Pictures from St. Aedan Funeral Mass are not included since I didn’t go there.

In this set, you’ll see police departments from across New Jersey (Newark, Passaic to name a few). Procession was led by colors, and pipes and drums. JC Fire Department also marched, as well as Jersey City politicians led by Mayor Jerramiah Healy:
