There was a crowd outside the Glenville Funeral Home in Scotia, where the remains of Chief Warrant Officer John Michael Grassia were brought on Monday.

Grassia, a New York state trooper, was killed in a military helicopter crash earlier this month on the U.S.-Mexico border, along with Chief Warrant Officer Casey Frankoski, also from our area.
