Hey Bum,
Gary's 5th was today. I am sure the two of you are whooping it up, up there. Miss you lots. I wish I could do more for you and your family but, at the same time, I don't know what I can do for them. I can't help but feel a hard tug at my heart when I go to Clinton County S.D. I remember feeling sooooo happy for you when I heard you got hired at C.C.S.D. and at the same time feeling "These guys don't know what they are in for" because of how I knew you. If there is any thing I can do just let me know. LOVE MIKE

Hey brother, I've been called back to Active duty, so I'm not working the streets. Wish I was back there though with all my other brothers and sisters.
Keep them safe for me.

Hey Mister,

Will it ever be ok again? I miss you, as does everyone else.

Bum it's been too long since you've been gone, you've missed too much. I just wish I could hear some more of your jokes.

I wish that we all knew what really happened. I mean how do we know that you lost control of your car because a deer ran out in front of you and made you swerve or you spilled your coffee or something I don't know and no one will ever know what happened that night. That's what makes me so mad because we don't know.

Bum, we miss you so much! This holiday season is so different than any our family has ever had. Without you all of our family traditions have changed. I don't think they will ever come back to us again. I have to work hard at trying to be in the spirit for the boys. This year and every year to come for the rest of my days we will decorate with a lot of blue just for you. Sunday we are going to a dinner given by micops to respect all of you who have fallen for us. I sure wish we could have you back!! WE MISS AND LOVE YOU VERY MUCH!!!
Love, Chyanner

I didn't know about this website until our son recently lost his partner. It was exactly the same way that you went, answering a code call and then losing control of your patrol car.

It's you gals and guys that make the streets safe for us and we thank you so much for every day we had with you. You did not die in vain. We will continue the watch from here and ask you to watch over us and pray for us from above. We love you and will meet you at the Police Officers Great Family Reunion in the sky.

Thank you for everything.

Hey You,

Almost 7 months now, and it still seems like yesterday. I miss you, we all do. We had a bad call last friday morning, it was soooo hard for me to work. First one after yours. If only it could be last. I cried the whole time. It just made me miss you more.

I miss you.

Perry,
I knew you as Perry, many knew you as "Bum" I miss you either way. There has not been many that have affected me in my life like you did. We had interactions in our careers but neither of us capitolized on any of it. I love life like you did and maybe you can live life through me. I am not perfect but I hope I can do what you wanted to.

LOVE MIKE

Perry,
Hey bud. I haven't heard any thing about a "flannel get together" but I don't care. As you know I think about you and Paula in my prayers. I hope that one day I can have a one-on-one converasation with her and tell her of my fond memories of you. She is special to me too.
I have the job that you were going to, transports. I pass through Clinton County a lot and I always think about you. It's just amazing that we worked together, North and South of eachother, no one knew of our late night meets, and how close we became. I know that if it were not for your openess and shinanigans I wouldn't have had such great memories.

LOVE
MIKE

Hey you,
I can't even start to believe its been 6 months already. It still seems all so new. It still hurts as is if it were yesterday. Just taking it day by day seems to help a little but still, at the end of the day you are not here with us. I miss you!
I know you are in a better place and I know that should make it easier but it doesn't... I truley don't see how it could be better then being here with your friends, family, and Co-Workers, who all love and miss you so much. I miss you. Hugs and Smiles :)

Bum,

We had a little party for you on August 8th and we had a great turn out. Thanks for blessing us with such beautiful weather and keeping everybody safe.

It was my pleasure to create a scholarship fund in your name. For years to come, residents of Clinton County will receive scholarship funds in your memory. We raised over $14,000.00 in just a couple of short months. This is a true reflection of the support of friends, family and area businesses that knew, respected and loved you. You had given so much too so many people; there was no question that we wanted to keep that legacy alive.

We all still miss you so much and think of you often. Please continue to look out for Paula, your family, friends and co-workers. You truly are our guardian angel.

Hey You,
I miss you so much. It's just not the same without you here. I thought maybe I was doing alright, but now I wonder. Every day I wake up thinking it will all be different, thinking you will be here with us again. Then I take a second and I remember that you are not here with us. I miss you...
