Hey dad it's been 19 years since you were taken from us and it never gets any easier, but I have your memories to guide me. I still learn from your choices and the way you walked through life without letting your fears guide you. Instead you showed us all the meaning of bravery and courage . I try to follow the model you set for what a man and a father is. You always made it seem so easy. I know now it was full of sacrifice for those you loved. I love you dad and I guess I just want to say thank you for everything you did and for watching over us every day. We will never forget you of what you did for us.

Well dad its been a while since I last left a reflection and through the years many things have changed and though I'm not perfect I believe I have became a man of whom you can be proud of... you always taught me that thinks don't always go according to plans and that mistakes will be made but its what you do despite that fact that determines what kind of man you are... I live my life by all the little lessons you taught me and though I was young I remember a lot more than most would think.. as a kid you always made me feel like I was not just your son but your best friend as well and I will forever miss you and pray to be as good a man as you were for you are still to this day my hero.

It's so hard to believe it has been 16 years. It still feels like yesterday. I know you are looking down on us, so I don't have to tell you how much we miss you. You are forever in our hearts and always on our minds.

15 years ago you paid the ultimate price in protecting your familty and fellow citizens by making this world a safer place. From the reflections on your page, it sounds like you have left behind some children who you can be proud of. As a father of five, I know the greatest complement anyone can ever pay me is to tell me I'm a good Dad. And it means even more when it comes from my own children. On this anniversary of your untimely death, let me pay my respects to a man who was obviously a wonderful father, first and foremost, and a true hero to his community and his entire family.

Billy I didn't personally know you but you worked with dad Bill Schweers when he was with the Calcasieu Parish Sheriff's department before he left. He never really said much but defiantly missed you and ordered a plate with your name when we went to the national law enforcement officer's memorial in DC

Ive been doing so much thinking lately about all the things i remember about you and how much you loved us and i know you gave everything you had to ensure our safety no matter how much time passes it never gets easy as i tear up just opening this page and i cant possibly know what went through your mind everyday but being a father is what you did best and i only wish you were still here and that you could give me the advice and knowledge i need to be as great of a man and father as you are i love you and miss you so much and it will never be easy no matter how much time passes

Well tommorow will mark the 13th year since you responded to the fatal call that forever changed all who knew and love you. Every year things seem different but yet still the same it seems as if yesterday we were eating sandy hot dogs on the beach i can recal numerous memories as if they had just happened and those memmories have made me who i am today hoping that i have became at least half the man you are ive now been in the military for 5 years doing my part to protect the people you died protecting the people of our great country and my brothers protect the same people wearing the same badge you carried. we have all in someway followed in your footsteps, you were such a great man and father that we look up to you and try to be as much like you as possible every day. i remember all the times of happines that we had though it was such a short time compared to the amount i wish we could have spent together, playing catch in the park, learning to ride a bike, mr gattis, going camping at toledo bend, riding in your UNIT as you called it, sitting in the inflatable pool that was way to small for you, greg, chris and myself these memories are how you are remembered i still here storrys from people who knew you even if only for a minute about how you were a great man even people you had arrested knew you as a great man i remember one instance were a young man walked up to me and asked me if i was your son and with a tear in his eye he huged me and told me how you changed his life. though you are gone you are still missed and will always be loved .

To the family of Deputy McIntosh -- especially his mother, Cleta. Today as I talked with Yvonne Brown about the death a few days ago of a Deputy in Dixie County, Florida, she told me about Deputy McIntosh ("Billy Wayne"). Yvonne and I learned we share something in common - we both have best friends who lost a son/deputy in the line of duty. So to his family, please know that now my heart is connected to you for your great sacrifice -having a family member in LEO, and losing him in the line of duty. As I've read reflections left by his wife and sons, please know that your entire family will be in my prayers. RIP, Deputy McIntosh - and thank you for your great sacrifice. And to the family, may God's peace reign in your lives.

"The Badge"
He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.
He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.
Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.
He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.
His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.
He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.
And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.
But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.
Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.
Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.
So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.
In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.
Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.

It's hard to believe that 10 years is around the corner since you were called from this place and into the kingdom of heaven. We worked together in he big city of Moss Bluff and we even had you as an assist. supervisor. I know that every chance that you get you are watching over the all the officers helping them to get back home safely. You are one of the many guardian angels of law enforcement officers who keep us safe.
Rest in peace my friend....

Bill, I just started working for the sheriff office for a short period of time when one morning I went to work and was told you were killed. Though I never knew you personally, I know what every deputy feels when a fellow deputy makes the ultimate sacrifice in the line of duty. Pain for a fallen law officer is never easy to forget or to get over. I worked along side with your father and now your son is following his and your foot steps as a Deputy Sheriff. I know you are proud of him as he is proud of you. Keep watch over him as well as over the rest of us. I had hoped that I would never hear of another fellow deputy pay such a price as you, but now a second, Alan Inzer had made a last roll call. May you both be in peace.
