Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

Thinking about you.... I was with a patient at work the other day who had almost the same address as yours was on waterbury way, he lives next door to your old place.. It was strange the I had you on my mind and I looked at his employer and he is a police officer.... I told him about you and he said that he heard of you from other neighbors and that you were " a great guy" I couldn't agree more. Miss you. Christina

Patrick,
As I prepare for the CPD Run to Remember, my thoughts are of you. I do this in memory of you - the great son you were, the best friend I had, a person so missed in my life. For you I would do anything - just keep me up-right and out of the hospital this year.
Love you forever.

Today had someone tell me to get over it and go on - Get over losing you - not going to happen. Every day has been a challenge since 11/25/04 but for some reason this year has been a real struggle. I really do try hard but I'm still very sad. Why is it that you are the only person I can unload on? Wish you were to smack some sense into me.
Love ya!

Two Tremont High seniors were killed this past Saturday in an icy addident that involved their truck and a Tremont school bus (driven by Stu Horton) going in opposite directions on Rte 74. The town is again sadden by death. I remembered like it was yesterday how I felt - the grief that never passes, the tears that never stop, but most of all, the LOVE that continues.
You will be forever in my heart,

6 years today and I still can't believe it. I think about you constantly and wish I could hear you laugh. Watch out for your brothers that walk that thin blue line. My life was fuller with you in it, giving thanks for the time spent with you.

Pat,
There isn't a day that passes, that I don't think about you at least once. I just wanted to tell you, that I miss you dearly and I pray for your mom/family always. My daughter now has added you and your mom to her LIST of prayers at night. :)P I read an old letter from you it still smells like you... hahaha remember you BROKE your bottle of Armoni and it ran all the ink on your love letter? I still have it...... At the bottom it says A.O.M.M. Always on my mind. I miss you. A.O.M.M. Christina

Austin received the "IRON MAN" award for his football season. At 89 pounds, it's all about determination and grit which he got from you.
Thanks for being part of his life; watching over him as he reminds me you are.
Love ya!!!

Todd & Tracey's wedding was this weekend. A good time was had by all(Your Mother included) I know how very fortunate I am that your friends are so very good to me but I still want to be with you. Tears of missing your not being up front with Todd, Brett, Scott,& Shane ran down my face. My make-up has suffered since you've been gone.
I'm off to DC for the COPS 25 mile walk this Friday. I'll try my best to stay up-right throughout the event - no more accidents.
You will be forever in my heart. Love you forever!!!!

The best golf tournament ever!!!!!! Maybe not money wise but people wise. Your friends from Tremont High, EIU, various Police Departments, friends, family - it was like a big reunion.
Dinner Friday night for 12 - Bob cooked!!
140 Golfers - 31 workers - golf tournament participants.
Stacey chasing geese.
12 more for dinner.
Breakfast Sunday for 28 at hotel.
What fun - all because of you. I would rather have you with me but I've learned that can't be.
Miss you always.
Forever in my heart.

Your 6th Annual Memorial Golf Outing will be this weekend. I wish that I wasn't hosting it - instead I'd be have you over for dinner. I miss you so very much - everyday. I am happy that so many of your friends will be playing golf Saturday. What a great confort it is for me to have them around - to know that they miss you as well.
Central IL lost 2 officers within 4 days this past week - attending the one service closest to me was difficult but my hope is that it is helpful to the family.
You will be forever in my heart.
Love you!

I know that you watch over Austin, so you must have enjoyed this past weekend. Baseball was never you thing nor is it his but he’s fast just like you. Running the bases, he’s at his best. He does need your help with his parents right now. He’s 13 being watched over like his much younger. You can’t blame Stacey & Dave. Losing you like they did causes worry regarding Austin. Please help the three of them out.
I miss you as my confident - you always listened – even when I was off base in my thinking. I miss you as my son – the father of all the grandkids you would have given me. Some days I am truly lost without you.
You will be forever in my heart.
Love ya!
