More Great New Yorkers

Meet Susan Porcello. She's a cop with NYPD. Ya know what they call the cops in Noo Yawk? "The Finest." With good reason.

It was in July 2008 that Officer Porcello, then 35, and her 68th Precinct partner, Eddy Ennis, responded to a 911 call at Gasper Musso's Bay Ridge apartment.

The World War II vet was a diabetic and had accidentally mixed up his medications. He had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

Porcello asked him where his family was.

"Look around you, kid. I'm all alone. I have nobody," he replied.

"I said, 'What do you mean you have nobody? I'm here now. I'll be your friend. You're going to be my grandpa now' " Porcello said she told him.

She was a regular visitor at the hospital, keeping him company, helping him pay his bills and bringing him newspapers.

When Musso died on Nov. 15, she carried out his dearest wish -- to be buried near his mother on Staten Island -- and paid for the funeral and headstone.

I'm sending her a card, just to say she made my day.
