Reflections for Police Officer Eddie N. Jones, Jr.
Eddie,
Was thinking of you today. Looking at all the memorials today , I couldn't help but notice how people love you, especially Shari, even today 33 years later. You've had a great influence in my life and I thank you for your dedication to your job, attention to detail ,and professionalism. It was easy being yours and Dennis' sergeant. Thank you fou your friendship. May we never forget

As the 30th anniversary of your murder approaches, the memories. No one went home after their tour of duty ended that night. Officers were coming in on their own time. All not scheduled to work volunteered their time until your killer was caught.
Your life and memory will always be celebrated, Ed. Until we meet again.

Just another example of how dangerous every aspect of police is. Officer Jones, you are a true hero, thank you for your service and please know that your sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten. Rest In Peace always.

I'm Anthony Jones, a cousin of Officer Jones. We we're very close and like brothers. I was supposed to take the cpd exam the same day that Eddie did but my Mother and ex wife talked me out of it. I've always wanted to be part of the memorial and still open to volunteer or attend events.

I thought about you today. I privately shared your story with a young officer of mine. Until today he didn't know you. Now, he will never forget you. Thanks for watching over him.....

Eddie, you did God's work out there on the streets, defending the weakest members of society. I think of you often. Until we have our reunion in the next life, my brother.

Eddie, On this, the eve of the 25th anniversary of that horrible day; you have not been forgotten by your friends and co-workers. Stories of "Eddie" still bring smiles and laughter to all of us. Rest well and watch over us my brother.

Eddie, it doesn't seem like we are coming up on 25 years since your ultimate sacrifice. Time goes on, but the painful memories linger. Your positive approach to life still has an impact on the way I do things today. The whole team had so much fun working at the Bears playoff game the day before you met your demise. Talk about going from one end of the spectrum to the other. The following week was truly the hardest time in my life. I miss you friend and hope to see you in the after life as promised. Until then please watch over all your police brothers and sisters.

Like a comet
Blazing 'cross the evening sky
Gone too soon
Like a rainbow
Fading in the twinkling of an eye
Gone too soon
Shiny and sparkly
And splendidly bright
Here one day
Gone one night
Like the loss of sunlight
On a cloudy afternoon
Gone too soon
