Rest in peace Patrolman Whitted. I was wondering if you were related to a news writer Charles Whitted in Miami, Florida?

This is for Kevin Whitted:

My father, Dudley Conner, Sr. was Officer Whitted's partner for several months before Dad left the Louisville Police Dept. to go into the insurance business. I recall Officer Whitted and his wife coming to our house in PRP for cookouts. My dad was very fond of Cosby. Dad had been off the police dept. for only a few months when he was driving his car, listening to the radio and heard the radio broadcaster announce that a police officer had been killed that day on his motorcycle. Dad said he instinctively knew it was Cosby. Cosby died on Aug. 23, 1963, my 13th birthday. I will never forget the great sadness when we paid our respects at the funeral home. I have always wondered about Officer Whitted's remaining family.

Dad died Dec. 29, 2009. A year or so after his death, I started thinking about Cosby Whitted, and went on the Internet to see what I could find. I was surprised to find that my dad posted the following on April 8, 2007, on the website www.supportingheroes.org. He had never mentioned doing this.

Uncle Buddy,

I never had the opportunity to know you because you died four months before I was born. I know that my dad and uncle miss their brother very much. I wish that I had known you. You died too young. Thank you for your service.

Your nephew,
Kevin Whitted
