in Pittsburg. Giacomelli became interested in law enforcement when his
older brother, Leo, signed on as a reserve officer with the Albany Police
Department. After paying his way through the police academy, he was
hired by the Pittsburg Police Department before he graduated. That was
23 years ago. Ray is survived by his wife and two daughters. - Leo Buller. -Father David Purdy, "He lived his life with a lot of
enthusiasm at work and a lot of professionalism, and at home his wife
and children came first." -Leo Giacomelli -Gov. Gray Davis |
