Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I remember robert "petey" porter when he first came to the 39th district as a new officer. He was such a good guy and well liked by many. May you rest in peace, you will always be remembered.

i enjoyed working with Petey but most of all i loved the friendship we shared. my own family members were fortunate enough to meet Petey and they too cared alot about him. Petey is one person who i truly miss in this world, however his soul remains with me forever.

--------The final goodbye----------
It's been a while since you've been gone,
Guess I always hoped, deep inside,
that the facts weren’t true and someone lied, and instead of goodbye,
I would be saying hello to you.

Now my life carries on without you,
though I can't say that is so,
because each and every day
you fill my thoughts and dreams
and most things I do lately,
involve you it seems,
So how can it be that this is goodbye?
There are so many things we have to share,

So many plans to be made,
I turn to call you, I want to know you are home, but you're not there, you've already gone.
I’m not ready to say goodbye.

Some say that it's time to move on,
I know they are not wrong.
I move on, but I take you along.
I'm not ready yet,
to say goodbye.

It's been so hard to say goodbye,
and every time I try, I cry.
I just cant bring myself to believe,
that this is the final goodbye.
