16 PHOTOS: Fallen Officer Christopher Matlosz Honored at BlueClaws Game
Team remembers officer with honor guard, police helicopter fly-by and more
The Lakewood BlueClaws this past Saturday honored one of that township's police officers, Christopher Matlosz, a Manchester resident who was killed while on-duty in January. Before becoming a cop in Toms River, Matlosz was a patrolman in the Englishtown Police Department.
Before the game, an honor guard and N.J. State Police helicopter fly-over celebrated the officer, who was while on-duty in January. Matlosz's fiancee, Kelly Walsifer, and brother, Adam Matlosz, tossed out the first pitches.
Proceeds from T-shirt sales went to the Holding Onto Hope charity founded by Walsifer.
