Deputy Sheriff Charles Allen VanMeter

Just thinking about you this past Christmas, buddy, telling my family about you and on the unfortunate circumstances (for me) that we met. You were so different from the rest of them...you treated me with respect right off the bat- treated me like a person, looked past the fact that I was wearing orange. I remember the talks we used to have during those late night shifts. I was proud to be able to tell my "co-workers" that you were a friend to me. I remember you taught me how to count to ten in mandarin chinese (that was always fun). I was so shocked and stunned when I read about your passing....it truly does seem like only the good die young. Can't help but to imagine what you would've been, had you been able to continue your career...I still miss you, buddy... C.P.R.
