In order to give Officer Tsakos a proper hero’s funeral, members of the local community were asked for their assistance in ways that would cost them no money, but would lend a helping hand in creating a funeral that would be fitting for a true hero who died in the line of duty.
Once such place, Decker’s Nursery, in Greenlawn, NY, was asked by the Greenlawn Fire Department if they would be willing to provide a small portion of their parking lot in order to set up an arch detail for Officer Tsakos’ funeral.
The response they got was an unexpected one, when Decker’s Nursery said “absolutely not”, according to reports.
Local sources state that not only did the local nursery refuse to allow the Fire Department the space to pay tribute to an officer who dedicated 14 years to his police department, they went a step further and proceeded to block off their entire parking lot with trucks and person vehicles.

Yes, that is the one. She tried to say she was sorry afterwards. Um, no.
The funeral is only part of one day. They wanted to set up the trucks ahead of time in a corner of his parking lot. I doubt it would have affected his business that much.
The funeral is only a few hours. The fire department wanted to set up their truck in a corner of his lot ahead of time. I doubt it would have affected his business that much, but I have no idea how much parking would be affected.
Get ready for a going out of business sale soon at the nursery.
It’s a free country. The Nursery can refuse to allow the use of their land and if the police or fire department needs to respond to the Nursery they can delay the call for quite a few hours.
Yep, and to top it off Decker’s Nursery is not on the closed section of road.

I see what you did there. Well played, sir.
She can ride that sorry all the way down to Hell.
Thank you for the information.

I agree. He made a dumb decision, he knows it, and is trying to recover.
