Wife Of Police Shooting Victim Speaks
June 13th, 2008 by Dan GaffneyTaffy Bricker has been a long time supporter/caller to the Dan Gaffney Show on WGMD. It was Taffy’s husband, Gary Bliss who was shot to death by Delaware State Police in Oak Orchard this past Wednesday.
I interviewed Taffy this morning about her loss. Listen to it here:

Taffy praises the way the police handled the situation; she talks about how bad she feels for the officers who were visibly shaken after having to shoot her husband. She also wanted to explain her husbands mental illness and Post Traumatic Stress he suffered after his years in Viet Nam.
I have met Gary Bliss, and always considered him to be a wonderful man. His loss is a sad tragedy for him, and his wife Taffy.
Taffy, my prayers are with you.

Taffy, what a very strong woman you are. I have always enjoyed your American Idol input through the years. I am very sorry for your loss. It is particularly kind of you to voice your concern for the new rookie state police officers. Take care and God bless.

Taffy, It is your American Idol partner Sharon. I just want to say how sorry I am for your loss and if there is anything I can do, please just ask. My thoughts and prayers are with you always. I know you will have a lot of friends and family around you now, but later if you need anyone please call. You know how to get ahold of me.
