Today is the birthday of Port Authority Police Officer Michael Wholey. He was born on September 26, 1966, and would have been 54 years old today. We will never forget the ultimate sacrifice that he made on September 11, 2001.
Officer Michael Wholey, thirty-four, was hired by the Port Authority Police Department in April 1993. He was assigned to the World Trade Center PATH station as an escort officer.
Wholey grew up in New City, New York, with his three sisters and one brother. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science at the State University of New York at Albany and was a service department assistant manager before he joined the Port Authority.
A fisherman and a golfer, Wholey, a Westwood, New Jersey, resident, enjoyed spending time with his wife, Jennifer, and their three children – Meagan, Erin, and Patrick. (POLICE HEROES, A BOOK BY AUTHOR CHUCK WHITLOCK)
