Dear Brother - I’m posting this so everyone will know you have a son. His name is Kenneth Decker. He is amazing and has a beautiful family. I know you would be so proud of him. I am forever grateful he found me.

I meant to appropriately post this on 3-17-17. I see my mom posted a nice story. I just wanted to say I will never forget you and wish constantly especially when this time of year comes up that this never happened!!!! St. Patrick's Day has never been a happy day for me since 1975. 42 years later and I still have my vivid cherished memories and pictures of you from when I was a young boy going on 9 years old. Losing you and grandpa Pine way to young took valuable male figures from my life too early. As my mom said you will never be forgotten and always in our hearts!

You have missed so much. I was so proud when one of your GPF Brothers in Blue - stopped to help your great niece - changed her tire and told her all about you. Your baby sister is now a great grandma. You will never be forgotten. Always in our hearts.

Always in my heart,
Helen

Always proud that you were my Uncle ! Even though I was nine when the accident happened I still have great memories ! I used to wait for you and the fellow officers to stop by Grandma`s house on Lincoln to eat when you were on the night shift. Just seeing you guys made me feel good. Always remembered !

I have fond memories of my Uncle Ken. He was always so kind, and loved having family over for BBQ's. We had family volleyball games, baseball games, just wonderful memories.
You are missed Uncle Ken.

The news that "Kenny Gordon" was killed by a drunk driver just devistated our family, it was without a doubt the saddest funeral I've ever been to. Police agencies from all over, even Canada, were there to pay their respects, they did not forget their fallen brother in his darkest hour and I'll always remember that.
