Kevin Arthur Schafer (Arty) 1956 - January 29, 2015 Obituary Obituary Born in 1956. Lived in Bay Ridge Brooklyn most of his life. Parents Arthur (retired NYPD officer) and Janet. Kevin graduated from Bishop Ford HS in 1974. Classmates included John Ryan and Kevin Devlin. PAPD academy February 1986 to June 1986. (87th class) Prior to becoming a cop, Kevin was a mortician and very proud of getting through mortuary school. Our first command was the Holland Tunnel, then the pool, then NIA command. We commuted together in the academy and he was often late which drove me crazy. He bought a house in Somerset NJ, but he was always in Brooklyn helping his parents or his Aunt Lucille. Because Kevin did not speak in a linear fashion, and skipped from topic to topic, I had a hard time keeping up with him. As told to me by a a Lt. who shall remain nameless, Kevin often wavered between answering the emergency line or biting into a sub. He also reminded me of the time Kevin's off duty gun got wedged into his car roof rack and made it from New Jersey to Brooklyn and stayed in place until his found it the next day.
He loved and was devoted
to his parents. He loved Barbara. He laughed
easily and often. He was kind and generous. He would
give you the shirt off his back. He was never angry or
nasty with anyone. He was my first friend at the PAPD,
and we remained friends for 29 years. I loved him,
laughed with him and will never forget him. Service Information
