John 'Daddy' Hessian was a long time member of the Paducah Police Department, assigned to traffic duty in later years. He also served as a surrogate father figure to many Paducah boys who played in the downtown area, and many Boy Scouts, at  Pakentuck Boy Scout Camp.  His benevolent, spectacled gaze is still remembered by many of Paducah's older citizens, as part their childhood memories.
