Joe Lomuscio was described as a “devoted family man” who worked “in many different positions” as a Boston Police officer.

Lomuscio is survived by his wife, Mary, and their three children.

Suffolk County District Attorney Daniel Conley said Lomuscio never missed an opportunity to help the community.
