A wake will be held in Falmouth Tuesday for a deputy sheriff who was killed on the job in Florida.

Deputy Sheriff John Robert Kotfila Junior was killed in a head-on collision with a wrong-way driver in Tampa earlier this month.

The woman who reported the accident says she believes he sacrificed himself to save her.

The deputy is from a long line of officers who served in Massachusetts.
