Officer Savalis, it's now been 45 years since you were taken from family and friends and no doubt, for many it feels like it was yesterday. You never got a chance to truly show what you were capable of and I believe the people of Brockton were severely cheated.

God Bless, Brother and may you forever rest in peace.
