I clearly recall the date and incident, even though I was only ten years old at the time. My father (Sgt. Ernest K. Schrader) was also assigned to Troop K as a supervisor at the time with the call sign 3-K. I remember him talking to us when he got home after responding to the incident. I remember his using words like honor, trust, integrity and sacrifice. I was old enough to understand that it could have been my own father who responded to the call, and that the result would have been the same. It made such an impression that I also chose to serve the public in the criminal justice field. Even in sacrifice, hope becomes instilled for the future.

Joe was my husband's cousin, at the time of his death. He was a wonderful man. I remember him being the last to leave my son's Baptism. He helped me get my Ct. driver's license. Everyone loved him. He was a fine son, and brother, to his sister, Caroline, and a wonderful cousin and friend. May he always rest in peace. I will never forget him. He was the nicest man I have ever met.

I agree with a previous writer who wrote “No officer’s death should be without reflection.” It is an honor to be the first to leave a reflection in your memory. You are a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice. May the memory of your service, heroism and sacrifice remain forever. God bless you and the surviving members of your family.
