Family, Friends & Fellow Officers Remember...

It is so hard not to get "political" in this situation. My heart just goes out to your family, just as it did on the day you were killed. I know in the depths of my heart that there is one Court and one Judge we all must face. Someday the man who ended your life will have to stand before that Judge. Until then, I want your family to know that people care about what they are going through and wish them peace. Stand by them and let them know that it will all work out in the end.

To All The McEntees,

My heart just broke yesterday when they declared the mistrial. It is a step back but it is not defeat! I know it must be very difficult to keep the faith and have the strength to keep going but I know you all will do it for Bill.

We must believe that justice will prevail. It just saddens me that with all the heartache your family has already gone through that this will just prolong reliving that terrible time.

May God give watch over you as you know Bill is watching over all of you as well.

Bill, today my 6 year old daughter and I were talking about the storms that had been forcasted. She told me that when it thunders and lightenings it's because the angels are angry. I laughed and told her that I didn't think angels got mad. Later that day, right when we were hearing about the mistrial, thunder shook our building and the skies let loose with a torrent of rain and hail on our city. I realized my daughter was right. Even our angels were filled with fury today. I can't even describe the way my heart aches for you, your family, friends, and co-workers.

What is wrong with our justice system? Are these people stupid! It's very obvious that Kevin Johnson took your life for NO reason. He admitted it and said he was going to kill the next police officer that he saw and then said he was in a trance??? What? Put me on the jury, I'll make sure he gets the death penalty and is charged in the first degree. I know I probably shouldn't be writing all of my feelings like this, but come on. My heart hurts now more than it has for the McEntee family. I will pray every day for the strength you need. I hope the next trial has a different outcome. Stay strong!

Justice does prevail, still, in this country. My heartfelt feelings of humanity, love and prayers I pass on to the family of this fine Officer, husband, daddy, son, brother, uncle, friend. There is a God, there must be.

To you Bill and to your family

Like any other loss, there is no way to understand or explain why this happens to the good people in our lives. I was just sitting here reading all of the other reflections on this website thinking about my own daughter and what she would have to go through if the same thing ever happened to me. How my little girl would be forced to grow up without a father because of the selfish and evil actions of someone else. It saddened me enough that I began to weep for both Sgt. McEntee and his family as well as my own. For the sacrifice he made as well as the sacrifice made by his family. I would just like to extend my deepest sympathies to Mrs. McEntee the children as well as all of his friends and co-workers at the Kirkwood Police Department. I hope all of you will rise out of the darkness which surrounds you during all of this. I hope all of you will find a way to continue on in life and to continue to celebrate Sgt. McEntee's life and all of the sacrifices he has made to his fellow man while he was here on this earth. His family and friends can be proud of the man, husband, father and friend that Sgt. McEntee was during his time on this earth knowing that he bravely served his community and selflessly gave all that he could for the common good of his fellow man.

I was a policeman in the St. Louis area for ten years so I guess that makes me biased, but I feel compelled to say that I hope K.J.'s latest attempt to save his own skin does not fool the jury into believing he wasn't in control of his actions on that day. There sit's an example of pure evil in that courtroom and I hope the members have the courage to put that evil right where it belongs, standing tall to hear his next verdict and to receive his true judgement.

To all who read this, I extend my wishes for you, your family and all of your loved ones to live a long and love filled life. To policemen out there everywhere, keep doing what your doing, it does matter and it does make a difference. Most sincerely - M. Curvo

Billy, I know you are with the family at this time. I wishing I was there myself. Being in Springfield at school at this time is very hard, especially with my Dad going to the trials. It feels like I am in a blackhole down here, the news reports havent said anything about the trials, i heard about what was going on through mom and dad. I thought about you alot on St.Pat's day, i wish we could have had a few beers. But i know you and uncle bud were having a great time yourselves. Please watch over Sean while he is in Texas, it is hard him being away from the family too. And of couse be with Aunt Florance... she needs you most of all. I love you.

Watch over your family during this difficult time. It is hard to watch their pain and suffering but knowing that you are "an angel" watching over seems to ease the pain somehow. Your presence is missed but your spirit remains.

I really hope that justice will be served to Kevin Johnson for taking you away from your family. I have been following the news reports and I can only pray that he will get the worst. My thoughts and prayers go out to your family as I know this is a very difficult time for them. Just remember that you have the whole St. Louis community here for your family. We will make sure this guy gets what he deserves. It really saddens me that your family has to continue to go through this pain. I'm sure this is just as bad as July 5, 2005 was for them. I will pray even more to give them the strength they need to get through every day. You will always be remembered. Thank you for your sacrafice.

Happy St Pat's Day Bill! This was your day! I am so thankful for the great memories of this day with you. I can still see you so vividly in my mind, and I smile - and laugh - and cry! You are still very much alive in me. You are NOT forgotten, ESPECIALLY today. We are all going to party with you still, like you would want, but it will never, never be the same. I am sure there is a big party up there today - have a few for us with dad, like we will for you guys down here. Also, thanks for the dream the other night. I know you are there. Love you and Miss you-Jayne
