SPRINGFIELD, Mass (WGGB) — The memory of one fallen Springfield policeman will not be forgotten.
A car wash was held today at Big Daddy’s Ice Cream Shop on Boston Road in honor of Officer Kevin Ambrose.
Ambrose was killed in the line of duty in June while responding to a domestic violence call.
The idea for the car wash came from 11-year-old Josef Ramos, who says he just had to honor his friend.
“Very important,” says Ramos. “Especially if one of your closest friends passes away. I know he didn’t deserve to die, it’s sad how he did”
Ramos adds, “Me and him had such a great connection that if anything happened to him early like this i want to celebrate it. It’s very sad that he died.”
Today’s car wash raised about $1,000. The money will go to the Springfield Police Department.
I saw the orange signs and wanted to go so bad I just didn’t have any cash!! Can they do another one soon?
If you missed it Donations can be sent to big daddy’s c/o Ambrose 955 Boston road Spfld ma 01119
Making the public aware beforehand of all these benefits has got to be 1 of the media priorities~PLEASE!
this was just a pr stunt in the name of a fallen officer . sad really sad !!!! i am glad the media didn’t advertise this !!!!!
