From Police Heroes, a book by author Chuck Whitlock:

Officer Michael Wholey, thirty-four, was hired by the Port Authority Police Department in April 1993. He was assigned to the World Trade Center PATH station as an escort officer.

Wholey grew up in New City, New York, with his three sisters and one brother. He earned a bachelor’s degree in political science at the State University of New York at Albany and was a service department assistant manager before he joined the Port Authority.

A fisherman and a golfer, Wholey, a Westwood, New Jersey, resident, enjoyed spending time with his wife, Jennifer, and their three children – Meagan, Erin and Patrick.
