Silent and solemn, a group of Worcester police officers stood yesterday on Reservoir Street in Holden to remember their brother officer, Mark D. Bisnette, a father and Marine who lost his life in a single-car crash Saturday.

Known as “Bizz” to his close friends, Officer Bisnette, 38, is remembered by many as a man with an infectious smile, who was proud to serve as a Marine in the Gulf War, and could carry on a conversation about anything.

“Everybody had their Bizz stories. The kid is just one of a kind. Just a great friend, always be there for you,” said Officer Thomas B. Duffy, who rushed to UMass Memorial Medical Center — University Campus in Worcester after hearing about his friend's crash.

“He was as loyal as they get. He would do anything for his family and friends,” Officer Duffy said.
