To honor and to acknowledge a fallen member is to remember his dedication to his job and coworkers. He continued to run to assist not for himself but to assist his fellow coworkers from being left in a line of danger. The lord then reached out and said no more for I now need your dedication with me. Rest in peace my brother.

Its so sad. We work hard to protect others ...but who is protecting us?
NYPD... LOCAL 237?

Hopefully, things will change. I pray that your family is doing fine because the dead are not aware of anything but the living are dealing with you not been here.

On this day you passed from us. I am always upset when a fellow officer dies in the line of duty. I don't know if Teamsters Local 237 took care of your family, but we all knew how they always wanted to stab law enforcement in the back. Other law enforcement agencies should know how HHC Police, School Safety, CUNY Public Safety, TLC Inspectors, and City of New York Special Officers have long been screwed over by Teamsters Local 237 since Barry Feinstein's father found the union. Rest easy my Brother one day soon all your brethren will be free from the disease of 237 and be part of LEEBA.

It was my honor to research newspapers, books and magazines and finally find your ID Card Photo and make sure your photo was put on this site. I wanted to put a face to your heroism in the Line of Duty. I did the research because you are a brother officer and no matter how many years past, you will always be remembered. Rest Easy Hero.

I said a little prayer today for School Safety Agent Williams and his family. He may be gone but never forgotten. He will always be a New York HERO.

Last night a Jodeci song came on the radio, Orville loved Jodeci. When people use the phrase, 'gentile giant' it truly applied to this kind soul. He would do anything for a friend and was a man who loved family and life. I think about him and how much better the world was with him in it.

Sug, I can't believe it's been 11 years. It still feels as if you are with us and I miss you everyday. I try to look at this wall and see all the kind words said about you, but it brings back so many memories that it hurts too much sometimes. We all wish you and Bam were still with us, and of course we know you are here in spirit. Sometimes that's just not enough. I miss you and love you and know one day I'll see you again.

"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.

Agent Williams, today marks the 7th anniversary of your tragic death. As a university police officer, I know how tough it can be straddling that line between protector and enforcer of laws. We are expected to look out for these kids while at the same time we are responsible for keeping their behavior in line with what is acceptable. Sometimes ‘big brother’; sometimes the ‘cop’. Those of you who work for school systems have it much tougher, you have to deal with REAL ‘kids’ and that is NEVER easy, and you did it for two years. I wonder where those kids are now and if they ever look back on how they took your life, albeit indirectly. I hope so, and I hope they learned from it. Isn’t that what you were setting out to do anyway, help them learn?

God Bless you and may you forever Rest in Peace, Brother.

Orville, I love you and miss you so much. I know we all do, but sometimes I sit and cry remembering all the fun we all used to have. Like the day you decided that you should spray me in my car with a super soaker. I miss those days Sugar. I love you forever. Dee.
