DUBLIN, CA If he were alive today, John Monego would be 55 years old.
He would have watched his son, Dominic, grow up and graduate from high school. He would have seen himself in his son s dry sense of humor. After spending his career serving the residents of Dublin, he would have celebrated his retirement and had more time to spend with his wife, Tammy, and the rest of his family and friends. He would even have seen his son follow in the footsteps of his wife and pursue a career with the California Highway Patrol.
