Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Joe,
It’s hard to believe that you’ve been gone for over 20 years. There isn’t a day that goes by where someone doesn’t think of you, because your life touched so many. You are not forgotten. You are desperately missed. Your sister is getting married next year, I know you’ll be at the wedding. Until then, rest easy my friend.

I think of you often and it always brings tears to my eyes... Along with all the emotions of loss, sadness of not knowing you as well as I should have. Yet there is the feeling of Honor knowing you are Family and put your life on the line to protect those who cannot protect themselves. I THANK YOU AND YES I DO MISS YOU<3

Joe, I come back here every once in a while, and I can't believe it has been so long since you were taken from us. I can still remember it like it was yesterday. And the memory of all of the officers walking from the church to the cemetery because there were too many cars to drive will never fade. Rest in Peace my friend.

Dear Joe,
My best memory is when at football camp when I dislocated my shoulder and couldn't figure out what was wrong with me. With "teammates" and "coaches" yelling and calling me names as I tried to sort out what was wrong, you, as our head manager, was the only who gave a damn.
I'm glad we were able to sit together in our high school classes and stay in touch until that unfortunate day.
You are truly one of the GOOD GUYS.

Just got a flyer regarding your memorial motorcycle run this weekend. I was a local officer that was there when this tragedy occurred. I still vividly remember the events of that morning on a daily basis. Although, prior to this incident I did not personally know you, I feel as if we are forever connected. I come to this site, your page frequently, thinking and hoping you are now the guardian angel looking over us. Rest in Peach, my brother! You will never be forgotten!

Thinking tonight how excited you always were for Christmas and missing you more and more each year. Remembering when we were little and you were excited about what you were getting to when we were adults and you still excited for what you were getting but also more excited to be Santa for your children. Missing you today and always Joe. Love ya bunches. Merry Christmas!

Only days before this incident, I left this noble profession to better provide for my family. I recall many times that you and I worked together, Joe, and especially the time that you handled an unnecessary call for me which put you into OT, just so I could take my family fishing and enjoy some private time.
Only chance prevented me from being there that night, and I still wonder if I could have made a difference in protecting my brother. You truely are not forgotten, and this date is etched into my memory forever. Nearly all of thoes there that night will have a good idea who I am, but I prefer to remain nameless, for I know this was only one of many acts of kindness given to brother officers by you.
