Remembering my Uncle Bill on this day, the 50th anniversary of the day you were called home into the kingdom of God. Although you were taken long ago, you are still not forgotten. My heart goes out to my cousins Lisa, Lori, and Linda as well as my late aunt Sharon. To all police officers, may God watch over you during these troubling times and this Christmas season.

Officer Wells was a fine person, a role model second to none. He served special duty at the Crystal Swim Club in the south end. A strong father figure, unforgettable. My father worked at Lazarus and was there the night Bill lost his life in that cold parking garage. I have never forgotten him, never will. God Bless his family.
