Like thousands throughout Metro Detroit last week, Suzy Modiano was stunned by news reports that Patrick O'Rourke, a West Bloomfield Police Officer, was killed in the line of duty. While watching television news all day from the Yoz Yogurt outlet on Orchard Lake Road in West Bloomfield which she owns with her husband, Sonny, less than three miles away from where the incident occurred, Suzy said that her first thoughts were with O'Rourke's family. The Modianos decided to hold a fundraiser to benefit O'Rourke's three elementary school-age daughters and infant son, and his widow, Amy.
