BEHIND THE BADGE: MEMORIAL TRIBUTES

As we ride in this year’s Pedal for Presents Memorial Bike Ride and Picnic, we honor the legacy of Sergeant Francis Paul "Frank" Stabile, who served with the New York State Police for 23 years. Frank was the kind of trooper you wanted by your side—loyal, determined, and dedicated to justice.

Frank passed away on May 20, 2020, leaving behind his beloved wife Marcella and their two beautiful children, Adrianna and Frankie. His impact is still felt deeply by those who served alongside him.

At Mile 34, we will pause to remember Frank and show his family just how much he meant to our law enforcement family.

💙 Ride. Support. Remember.

Join us at www.OpSantasSLED.org to ride in his honor, volunteer, or contribute.
