Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Dad you are very special to me. Even though I did not know you that long, I feel that I have known you forever. I love you very much. I wish I could have seen you one last time.

Your loving son; James

As my older next door neighbor I always looked up to you and was envious of your appointment to the NOPD. I remember that Chuck couldn't go with you into the Marines. Well, he joined you with the NOPD. I used to see him in the quarter when we both worked down there. I worked at Cats Meow and Chuck was in the 8th. I always liked your family. Your dad was always good to me and my folks. I thought it was so cool that you followed him into the Motorcycle Division. Well, enough of the moosh, I'm proud of what you were doing with your life and sad about how it ended. The bottom line is that you wanted to make a difference and how many of us can say that?

Mo,
You live on, my brother-in-blue. Although I never knew you, my husband did. You were as a brother to him, and I hear stories of some of the crazy things you guys did together, both on and off duty, LOL. We keep a picture of you and him standing together in your traffic uniforms in our living room. Rest in peace, my brother.

Mo, you were more than a partner and a friend to me, you were like a younger brother. I still think about you daily. On this anniversary of the accident that took you away from us way too soon I was reflecting on all we went through together. You were a great medic, police officer and friend. I am proud to have known you. I miss you.

I and my wife (Kimberley Robert-Alexander) met Morris at their 10 yr. class reunion. He and his wife seemed to be nice people. His untimely death, as with many of our Law Enforcement brothers, is unfortunate. Morris has been remembered.

My son will alway's be remembered as a warm ,loving and giving man. He was struck down by a fellow police officer who was late for work, so he ran through an intersection. An intersection that had a wedding procession going through it . The fellow  officer had 5 tickets given to him, no driver's license, no brake tag, no insurance, no registration and no license plate. He DID NOT have to pay any of them , they were thrown out,.

My brother was taken from us too soon, but does anyone ever think it isn't too soon. There are many people he left behind that miss and will always love him, but it is those who will never know him, like my son who was three weeks old when his uncle was killed, that will suffer the most. Just know Bubba, I Love You and you will NEVER be forgotten.
