Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

I was talking with Ron yesterday. It had been a little while since I had talked to him. Good times though. Just like any other time, it's like I just talked to him yesterday. You know. We were talking about the softball tournament coming up. Already... It's on your birthday this year. Which is sort of funny, but at the same time that's just how it worked out to be. I'm sure the team I assemble will blow out everyone. Ha-Haaaa!! Kidding man. Like it really matters. It's all about fun times.
Things are great here. Beth just got a new house. Wow, that right there is really funny. It's a cool place though. Buffett is coming up on the 8th. Always..Always great times right there. I'm sure where ever I start that day will be about 1 or so, and won't end til about..well, the time I fall out. Ha-Haaa!!! I know you know how that goes. Really can't wait to hear Chalice and Harbor. They do something to me like no other song I've ever heard. Plus as you know, man Buffett knows how things go down in this place. I just stopped by to drop you a line. Take it easy and I'll be seeing you guys after this is all said and done.
Slater and I don't mean A.C.!!!

missed and thought of daily!...#8

July 26, 2006

Sometimes I read these reflections, and wonder are they for you or for us? If they were for us, then I would tell some funny stories about you. Lord knows there are a bunch. If they're for you, I would tell you that I can't even begin to imagine what you would have accomplished over these last 6 years. I wish you would have had the opportunity.

I hope people know that Bill was funny, dedicated, loving, and caring.

July 21, 2006

As I reflect on the past 6 years, so many things have changed. There is not a day that goes by that you are not missed. We all miss the great times that we had with you and DeeDee. As we move on with our daily lives, we will always have an empty space that cannot be filled. So wish you could be here . . .

Just thinking about stuff man....

Missed daily . . . #8

June 24, 2006

I am a police officer in the UK.
I hace just watched a Tv programme here that was made in the Us...it featured the incident surrounding Ofc Toney's murder.
I found this site and just wanted to say....REST IN PEACE, MAY GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU.

Rest in peace, Sir! You are missed and not forgotten!

Forever missed!....

May 14, 2006

Everything here is great..... I read something the other day about sibling's loss. Man, if it didn't hit the excact way I feel and have felt right on the nose, I don't know what else does. I wish others could read it to totally understand the way you feel after loosing a sibling. But it's not their fault for not knowing, and nor do I ever wish that on anyone either. I do miss a lot of things though. I wonder sometimes what I would be doing now differently in my life if Dad, You, and Todd were still here. Or just one of you. But I'm cool, plus I have a great mom, sister, and friends. It's funny how things are constently running through my mind. I set there and hold a conversation with Joe or somebody, and I think about 8 other things going on. It's just funny, how I'm still focused on the conversation, and I'm really focused on life. It's also funny how hard people try to make things on you. Maybe it's because I always carry a good attitude or a smile, and they can't stand it. I don't care what people think- cause if I started to care, then that would just drag me down like they're feeling or something. Not judging here, but people are funny man. Beth is moving home. I am so happy for her, and I know mom is happy she's coming home as well. And plus she's in love now..... Don't worry, you guys would really like Dan. I think he's a lot like me, and who couldn't like him-right?(Haaa-Haaa!!) No, whatever makes Beth happy then I am all for it. I will see you guys on the flip side of this crazy town called life.
Peace

Missed more than ever!

April 14, 2006

Just thinking about life and what not lately. It's all going well... can't complain either. And like I always say, what good will it do to complain and nobody wants to hear it anyways. Thanks for the JBzer on the 23rd. It helped with the day... but at the same time, it never goes away. Peace brothers!!!!!! See you on the flip side.
P.S.- T.O. to the Cowboys. Nice!!!! They may do pretty descent this coming up season.(with or without T.O., but it still will help.) I know I'll still be watching.

Learning more about life daily Bill....just wished u were here to share it with!...

March 9, 2006

I thought that I've gone through a lot in my life and that I was a strong person: yet, there are people out there who are tearing me down trying to make my life more miserable then what it ever needs to be.

February 16, 2006

2006- just another year, and today was just another day.

Not a day goes by that my family & I don't think of you and the sacrifice you made to protect our city. We think of your girls, your widow, and your family and hope and pray that they continue to have a wonderful life. My son was a student of DeeDee's at the time of the tragedy and had met you at school. He was 9 at the time, and told me he didn't know why bad things happened but he knew you would be looking down from heaven and continue to protect your family. You were a wonderful person, and no one can ever say anything negative about you or your life. Thank you for all you gave.

Connie and I express our deepest sorrows for such a violent act from such a criminal. I am trying to find Officer Toney widow. Not for anything sick, but she was the very first person to use the new victims' impact statement law that Connie and I had changed in the memory of our daughter, Kelly Eckart. My understanding was that this turned into a very bad situation and if this added pain, our hearts and prayers go to you. I would like to know if it helped any at all. Changing the law was what we thought we needed to do, I need to know that it helped or hurt.

I did not know Officer Toney, I mean no disrespect on this site. I have the deepest respect for the people that protect us from the monsters of this world. As a citizen and one that has seen police compassion first hand, thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I am a C/O at the institution where your assailant is being held and he is some piece of work. Death Penalty very well deserved for him.

Missing those "Tecmo Super Bowl" tournaments on Nintendo that we would have after turkey. And ofcourse, I would always come away with the wins and the wagers. Matter of fact, I think you and Todd still owe me 2-3 controllers. You guys would always be so mad and throw them after I whipped up on you two. Man, what an example of good sportsmanship you two showed me growing up.(Haaaaa-Haaaaaaaaa!!!!) What was just as funny was Dee-Dee having to set and watch us ALWAYS play that game. There was a couple times she thought she could play against us. She would last about a quarter in a half and say: "I don't see why you guys like this game so much." Real funny times!!!!

Just can't believe it's been five years! Bill, I've meet some great people along this journey and have such an open-mind now. You have been quite a part in me discovering myself. Life does have a flavor that many never experience. I miss u and will see you again!
