I want to thank your Dad for always remembering the anniversary of my son's death.. Bob it is a wonderful thing to do. I'm not sure how you keep track , but it is appreciated. As a parent you understand the shoes all of us parents walk in. What a good looking young man !! I hope you and his family are coping .. I would give anything to have Jim back. We talked over the holidays about what he has missed in these 5 years, grandcildren, and his youngest becoming a Deputy 2 days after the verdict came back and now proudly wears his Dad's badge number.. My other son is also a Deputy ...so I pray a lot . Thank you again for being such a caring man..I'm sure your son would be as proud of you as you are of him. Maybe they are all together up there watching over us. I like to think that.

Just stopping by to let you know that I am thinking of you and your family, the days seems to just fly by.. There once was a time when every second seemed like forever and now we wonder where did the time go, even so no matter how fast or slow the time goes you are missed so much and will be forever. I hope your dad is doing OK I haven't heard from him lately. I don't want to be a pest and bother him, but I know you are with him today and always keeping him safe and healthy.

Happy New Years Mike:

I see your Mom snuck in before me and left a reflection. Not a day passes that we don't think of you and in my case, numerous times a day. How I miss those early morning phone calls to hear how the night went in the ghetto. Tonight you would have been out kicking in doors looking for guns, with what group or specialized unit, I don't know, but I know you would have been out there because thats how you were. We love and miss you every day.

Love,
Dad

Just wanted to let you and your family know that we have thought about all of you this Christmas, I know that your Christmas in Heaven was beautiful. Also that I have my blue lights up outside that shine for all L.E.O.'s and the blue candles that stay up year round in the windows, we will never forget you or your family. Continue to watch over them, and keep sending all the signs they get them.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Officer Gordon, I am sorry I am a day late,but wanted to wish you a Merry Christmas in heaven. I know that your family struggles with this time of year, but I also know that you are right beside them as they face each new day without you physically there with them. Continue to watch over them from above, and know that you will never be forgotten.

Merry Christmas Mike,
It's been awhile since I've visited your site but you are not forgotten. As we celebrate another Christmas without Jeff and place our blue lights in the window to guide him home and to send our love, we place one there for you also. We keep your family in our prayers and in our hearts. Watch over them. We keep them in our hearts always.

Merry Christmas Bird. I've been thinking about the days when you were growing up in Cicero and on the Exp Post. We had some great times camping out and ride alongs. You are truly missed. Watch over your family. Oh and say Hi to my Pops up there in heaven. He's the guy holding a Miller Lite beer can.

Mike,

We had a nice Xmas Eve with the family - Grandma Puf, Aunt Kathy, your brothers John & Bob and their families, your two boys and India. When I look around though your not here to enjoy this with us - it's heartbreaking for your Dad and I - something we will never get over.

We did our Xmas Eve ritual after everyone left and went to the cemetery to try to be near you even though your not physically here. It was 11:00P but we saw the blue solar lights on your wreath. People may think that we are crazy but its our way of letting you know you are not forgotten. As long as your father and I have breath you will never be forgotten.

Love you always and forever.

P.S. I just heard a portion of "At Last" - it must be a sign.

Dear Michael,
I wanted you to know our family is thinking of you and yours this Christmas season. You will always be remembered and never forgotten. I pray your family will talk of all the good times as your dad has so many wonderful stories of you. I know your children are blessed to have him and your mother as their grandparents.

MERRY CHRISTMAS MICHAEL

Merry Christmas Mike,
It's still early on Christmas Eve, no one is here yet so the house is very quiet. This is our 6th Christmas without you here and it doesn't seem that long ago, but then there are times that it feels like a lifetime that we last talked with one another. Another holiday to get through, but its for the grand kids who will be bugging us all night to open presents. I'll have the flashing blue light on so you can find us, love and miss you.

Love,
Dad

Officer Gordon I just wanted to stop by and say hello and let you know that your dad is a great guy, and I am sure you are just like him. He has so much strength and has help many parents left behind to get through just one more day without our children, even though he struggles with your loss. Keep up with him and walk by his side today and always..

God bless you Officer Gordon, you are a true hero who I will never forget.

Another Thanksgiving has arrived and you will be here with us in spirit. Not a day goes by that we don't have you in our thoughts. Your favorite mini series in playing all day today, "Band of Brothers." I know your connection to the program because of the Airborne background. Keep watch over everyone for me, wanted to stop in and say on this Thanksgiving holiday. No one will be here to fight over your favorite part of the turkey, the legs. You and Gram Gordon were the only two that liked the legs, besides your Uncle Joe and now he has no competition.

Love,
Dad

Michael,
I haven't written in over a month, but I visit this site multiple times every day. I know your Mom reads what I write as she brings to my attention any grammar errors I make. Next month I have been invited to be a guest speaker at your old grammar school as a visiting Veteran and I will be giving a talk about Veterans Day and also will talk about you since you are a alumnus of good old Lincoln School. I even have a picutre of you and Mom's childhood girlfriend standing together from when you were 7 years old and a second grader at Lincoln, she is now the principal of the school. I want to see if any of the kids will recognize her. It will be a hard day to get through as it is always hard for me to stand in front of a group and talk about you in past tense, but thats all we have now and the future was taken away from all of us concerning you. We all miss you and wish you were here and we will never let you be forgotten. Continue to watch over everyone for me. I promised another story to those that follow your page, I heard one yesterday from your brother but I'll save that one for another time. Love an miss you every day.

Michael Story:

This story was told by your partner at your Memorial last August and it's typically you for those that knew you. You and your partner had worked the midnight shift and both of you were members of the 11th District softball team and had a game that day after getting off of work. You asked him if he was going to play and he said yes, but he snuck out the back door and went home and turned off his cell phone and told his wife not to answer the phone as he was going to bed. You began your calls to his cell and home phones when he did't show for the game. Since you couldn't get him by calling his personal phone numbers, you went one step further in your chop busting way. You called his mother at her home. You began to explain to her that you were trying to find her son because of the ball game that was about to start and that your team was a man short and that if they couldn't find her son to play, you were going to have to find a street person near the park to play his position and that she needed to find him for you. I don't know if she finally made the contact with him or if he finally showed up as he didn't say, but he stressed thats how you were, going that extra step to bust his chops. Some may not think that this short story is not funny, but I wanted to pass it along to show others how you were and it is typical of you. We love and miss you Mike. Keep watch over the kids, your brothers and Mom for me. All our love. Dad

Love,
Dad

Michael, I was hospitalized on your anniversary date and was unable to leave a timely reflection, but you are one of the fallen officers I frequently remember.Your heroism and service is honored , the fifth anniversary year of your death. Your memory lives and you continue to inspire. Thank you for your service. Rest In Peace.

Like your devoted family, I understand the meaning of lives forever altered and know that when you lose someone so precious to you that the pain never goes away...the pain and the pride are forever. I pray for their solace.
