Your great grandchildren deeply appreciate the sacrifice you made to protect the people of St. Louis. Although Eddie Linehan, a notorious gang member, was suspected of executing you, he never was charged. Your grandson, my father, P.O. John B. Anderson was inspired by your service to join the St. Louis Police Department and served for more than 30 years. He died in 1978. Great granddaughter Barbara K. Anderson YOU ARE REMEMBERED TODAY AND THANK YOU SIR FOR YOUR LONG AND DEDICATED SERVICE. THIS WRITER IS ALWAYS DISAPPOINTED WHEN JUSTICE CANNOT BE SERVED ON BEHALF OF LAW ENFORCEMENT, BUT SOME HOW AND SOME WAY JUSTICE WILL BE OR HAS BEEN SERVED. YOU ARE A HERO SIR JUST BY THE PROFESSION YOU CHOSE. Pat Van Den Berghe May God grant you everlasting peace for your sacrifice. You will never be forgotten by your brother and sister officers who have followed in your footsteps. PO Doug Eatherton
