Officer Yodkins, thank you for your courage and bravery. As a police explorer in Farmington, I learned of your sacrifice. Every year we stood at the river's edge and honored you.

Look over us all now and keep us safe. Rest in peace sir.

Officer Yodkins,
On the 50th anniversary of your death the local newspapers and television stations covered ceremonies in which you were given the Farmington PD Medal of Honor for your heroic actions on that date in 1955. You truly displayed courage on that day as you rescued several people from floods and died while trying to rescue another family.
God bless you for I know you are at his side.
