Wally I miss you more than anyone will ever know. I think of you and hurt for you everyday. Work and life will never be the same. Neither one is enjoyable anymore. It still does not seem real. I pray this is a nightmare and will wake up because it is very hard not seeing you or hearing your voice. I miss just talking to you so much and laughing. I still listen to your voice mail just to hear your voice. I wish people could just understand but they don't and never will. Wally you will never be forgotten! The weather changing is hard because I know how much you enjoyed it.
Unfortunately we lost two good cops from that night that will not return to work. Please watch over them. Love you and miss you kid.

Hey Partner, how ya doing? I stopped by your grave a couple weeks ago and spent some time with you bringing you up to date. I cried a little and laughed a little thinking of the many things we did together as partners. I miss you more as each day goes by. You, Mo, the kids and your Mom and Dad and Sisters are in my thoughts and prayers daily.
I see you every morning sitting behind your desk, and picture our evryday morning ritual when I would ask you if you were working or playing computer games. Keep and eye on us, and watch our backs. It's really getting rough out here and I worry about the guys more each day. Save a place for all of us. I love and miss you.
Your Partner Vito

I'm at a loss for words after reading your memorial. Every day our son puts on his uniform and goes to work, I try to keep my mind busy and think only of good things. You men and women in law enforcement face death constantly, sometimes seemingly in not-so- dangerous circumstances.

Your family and friends lost a great man when you were taken from us. You will always be in our prayers, dear one. May your wings fly you high.

Please continue your watch over all of us down here. It's tough and trying. We love you, and we will meet some day.

Thank you for everything.

Wally,
I never had the chance to meet you, but reading some your reflections I can truly tell that was my loss. You and your family will always be welcomed as our family in the brotherhood of all who serve to make this world a safer place for all. You are always in my prayers. I know you will be in heaven looking down on all who wear the badge and sacerfice so much for those who cannot. Rest in Peace brother and know that we all will try to serve honorble as you once, check that, as you continue to do....

Hey Wally,
Whats new? Not too much is happing down here. The other day I saw a story about a policeman killed in the line of duty. The first thing I thought of was you and how much we all miss you and how unfair its is to all of us that you aren't able to be here with us. There are so many things that remind me of you everyday, its weird, the littlest things remind me of something you did or said or something that made someone laugh. Its hard to believe thats its been almost 7 months. I have prayed to you every night night since you left us and will continue to keep you and your family in my prayers forever! I miss you Wally and I love you. I will never forget what happened on 2-4-04 and I will never forget you. Bye for now.
