A loving daughter brought tears to her police office father's eyes, when she secretly flew from Florida to his New York suburb and was on the other end of his final sign-off to the dispatch room before his retirement after 35 years of service. Scott Lawida, 64, a senior investigator with the Amherst Police Department in New York, had no idea his 22-year-old daughter Maddi was set to come on the other end of the line. After Scott was thanked for his service, Maddi spoke, saying how proud she was of her father and how much she loved him. When everything began to click, a chocked up Scott then said, "Thank you, Maddi," before tears began to fill his eyes.
