Twenty years ago I was stunned and found myself in tears at the news, Earl.

Remembered our posting as “roomies” in Theft and your visual aids, used to demonstrate to a victim that she was important to you but had to wait her turn in light of our massive case loads. Seeing the look on her face as you ceremoniously dumped pile after pile of folders on the floor was … well, perfection. And perfectly Earl.

Remembered you telling me, “f*** it, roomie. It’s time to promote.” And promote we did. Sergeancy agreed with us both. Unfortunately, you “retired” first. I’d have loved to have a joint party with you when I left in 2006, but such is life.

Well, partner, I’ll see you when I see you.
