Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

You are always on my mind Jon, think about you all the time and see your star #305 every time I get in my squad. 20 years and I can still see your face in my memory like I just saw you yesterday. You will never be forgotten and always missed! Until we meet again, Love you man!

Jon,
Thinking about you and your family.
I started crying because I know that you left too soon and left a big empty hole in the heart of your family. Your big, bright smile and your sparkling, blue eyes truly missed by so many. Please continue to keep my family safe, happy and healthy. Please continue your guidance and protection. I have purchased a mass in your honor. Many prayers for you and for your family. With love, I pray this, all in Jesus’s name. Blessed be your anniversary in heaven with God for 15 years.
Amen

I will always remember the happy and kind man you were. I lived across the street from you and you always took the time to talk a few minutes with my college son and share your insights and offered to let him ride with you when the time was available. You left too soon but your impression has been permanent and we are forever grateful. Always in my heart my sweet neighbors Mr and Mrs Walsh., I think of you often.

Hollywood, you were one of a kind. Great with the public and a hell of a cop. Your memory will never fade amongst your brothers and sisters. Continue the fight on the other side.

May God envelope your family with an abundance of love and peace on this anniversary of your 11 years in heaven with Christ.
Time doesn't make it any easier for your family of losing you with each passing year, but maybe knowing that you are always watching and smiling over them with those beautiful blue eyes of yours may provide your family with some comfort.
Please continue to provide protection for me and my family, Jon.
I have reserved a mass in your honor at my church.
