Philip E. “Knute” Bonner, retired Philadelphia city police officer, 2001 Philadelphia St. Patrick’s Day grand marshal, and one of the Irish community’s most colorful and beloved characters, passed away Friday, February 15. He was 87.

We’ll have more to say about this kind, gentle and funny man in days to come. But for now, we’d like to remember him, both in pictures (view them here) and a video that shows him in fine voice.

Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam.
