Remembering Bill Nolan
The distinguished Lodge 7 president touched thousands of lives and made so many of them better in more than 50 years of service as police officer, union leader and tireless worker for charitable organizations. Some of those who had the privilege to work with him and benefit from his efforts lend their thoughts for this memorial tribute to one of the greatest leaders law enforcement and labor has ever known.
