Ray Wemple was the kind of guy who always commanded respect, but for much more than just his physical presence.
The former Schenectady police sergeant, who was indeed a big man – he was 6-foot-4 and at one time tipped the scales at over 400 pounds – was much more respected not for his size but for the way he spent his 34 years in blue, either as a patrolman, community organizer or in a number of other positions.
