Wake services were held Friday for the East Fishkill police officer who was killed in a crash earlier this week.
Daniel DiDato was driving in his patrol car on the Taconic State Parkway on Monday when his vehicle ran off the highway and struck a tree.
The 47-year-old was on his way to Westchester Medical Center to interview a victim from an earlier crash. He was rushed to Mid-Hudson Regional Hospital where he later died.
Calling hours for the wake were held until 8 p.m. at John Jay High School in East Fishkill.
A mass will be held on Saturday at 10:30 a.m. at St. Columbia Church in Hopewell Junction.
