Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Daddy,

It's almost 20 years without you. And it still feels like yesterday. I wish we got more time with you. But I'm still proud that you were a police officer. The father you were taught me how to be strong and how to protect my family. Your 1st granddaughter hannah is so amazing. We face her autism and other issues strong. I miss you so much and still talk about you alot. You are my hero and I will always love you. Daddy keep watching over us and your brother and sister in blue.

Met this brothers parents today for a supplement to a report they filed with my department. I figured out of respect to them and the sacrifices made I would share that his parents are very nice folks and was a pleasure to meet them. They spoke highly of their son and expressed their concern for all officers and left our PD telling me be safe and that they appreciate what we all do.

Thank you so much for such a sacrafice that you put yourself in harms way that in a instance you might be taken away from your wonderful daughters.I have read hundreds of reflections and never left a comment but I am compelled to leave this after reading such heart felt reflections left by your daughters.I know you would now tell them to seek comfort in the Lord Jesus and to read and know his word.I will pray for them believing GOD will help them after all these years.May your girls be greatly blessed....Former supressor of evil....

My dearest brother, today as I am reflecting on your life and the fun that we had growing up, I miss you more than ever. I miss your beautiful smile, your humor and quick wit. I remember two times in your life when you almost died, one at Goldhead State Park, when you went swimming and another time when you got a Tootsie Roll Pop stuck in your throat. Gratefully, I was able to help you on those two occasions, but wasn't ableto protect you on that awful day.

You are forever in my heart, and a day doesn't end that I don't think of you.

Your Big Sis,
Cat

My Dear Baby Brother, how I miss you and the words in my heart can't even express the saddness I still feel on you being gone. We had such fun playing together as kids, I was always there to keep you safe and to know I couldn't do it again took a toll on me that no one knows but God. Untill we meet again.

Hey Danny, long time, finally tracked you down. Judging from the time line, I'm guessing before you became on officer, you spent a whole 20 in the army, me I'm still there, in the reserves though. Remember moving into Specker Barracks, when they were brand new, and how they almost threw our whole unit out of them after only a month or so, now the reserves stay in them. Then of course there was REFORGER 79, and we got back stateside and both had orders to go right back to Germany. We both got married just before we left, well, at least yours lasted. Maybe if you had stood up in mine, like you were supposed to, mine might have too, but it worked out for the best.

Hey Bro, been looking for you for a long time, gonna miss you, but I'll see you again.
