Sarge,
I just found this page. Seldom does a day go by that I don't think of you. I miss you dearly. I wish I could contact you one more time on the Combs lot. Sometimes I wonder how things would have been diffrent if had taken your advise. You and all of my other brothers and sisters in Kirkwood are always in my thoughts and prayers.
Please tell my mom what kind of officer I have become. I try to make her proud. I'm going to midnights soon and will continue to C.P. your house. God Bless Sarge I miss you.

Hey Bill! Thanks for being there during your little buddy's surgery. I really knew everything would be okay because he had you and Bud on his shoulders. We were so blessed to have Jayne, Flo, Kathy and Mike helping us get through this too. What a great family!!!!!! I am so thankful.

What's up you big animal.
I know this is the first time I wrote, but I wanted to let you know that not a day goes by when I don't miss giving you the fisheye when you go on your tangents. Sitting in the chair in my office with your foot on the A/C.
I miss you coming down with whatever ailment you saw on the news that night. Or listening to you talk about your sibling rivalries with Mike. Oh how I wished to be a fly on the wall at a McEntee holiday dinner.
I miss the nights with the AB and the 'Mills. I miss our usual conversations after you finished your nights on mids. I miss our conversations in the 700 block of W. Washington. I miss giving you trouble about your locker room demeanor. Just so you know, I've told everyone who will listen about those few things.
I really miss your laugh. I always loved it when I earned one of the booming ones, like a son who had just earned something from a father.
"Go get your shinebox, Tommy! No shines, Billy, no shines..."
Most of all I just miss my big Irish friend.
"We few, we happy few, we band of brothers... For he today who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother."
God Bless You, Sgt. Hulka, "Our Big Toe."

I have been very affected by this tradegy after living most my years in Kirkwood. Bill was a woderful person and great to coversationist. He will be sorely missed. I want to say sorry to his co-workers in the Kirkwood Police department and most of all his Family. Having a Husband leave behind wife and children will be tragic for years to come. The dream and nightmares after losing my Daughters Fathers are still haunting me till this day after he passed on June 21st 1995. It does get easier and life goes on. The dreams stay for years to come. You always wake up before he calls or shows up. You always are eager to have them see how well and grown the children are. Peace be with the Family, Friends , and Coworkers of the great late Bill McEntee.
Rest in Peace Bill, I thought about you a lot this holiday and prayed for your family, ecspecialy your Wife. God Bless you all.

Merry Christmas Bill,
I miss you so much right now, but know you will be with us on Christmas day. It won't be the same and it never will be, but knowing you are celebrating with dad gives me some comfort. I just looked at some pictures from past Christmas' and in each one there is you and dad - somehow I think you wanted me to look at those and remember the good times. I will never forget. Love you - Jayne

Merry Christmas,Bill. I have so many Christmas memories of you that I will hold close. Tell Bud it might snow and we'll all be at the house. Love, Kath
December 24, 2005
Its been almost 6 months but,this is my first entry. There are no words that seem to say enough. I miss you everyday but, I get to see you in my dreams. I just wish I didn't have to settle for that. I hope someday the pain goes away, I know the missing you never will.
I will be seeing you.

Dear Bill; Just got finished putting lights on the tree, and put a blue light in the window for you. Started surfing the net and found this site. Just want you to know your extended family misses you terribly and have you,Mary and the kids in our thoughts and prayers and that we're all here for them if they need us. My mind is often flooded with memories of the big family get togethers when we were kids and the fun we had, and how your Dad, Mom, and the rest of your family were there for us after Dad passed away. Say hello to Dad, Uncle Bud, and the rest of the Uncles. Bet there are some real good discussions going on where you are, hope there is enough Bud to go around! I drive home through Kirkwood every night, and I think I can feel your presence there. Keep watch over all of us in the family, and all your friends in the Department. I know you've helped me a time or two recently. I know this will be a tough time of year for a lot of people, but I want to wish you and all of them a Merry Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year to come.

Hi Bill,
As you know, it's mom's birthday and I know you are going to be with her today as you are every day. We are all getting together tomorrow for lunch - it won't be the same without you, but we all know you will be there. Keep mom safe. We all miss you terribly - especially now. Love you - Jayne

Hey Bill it's me again. Just thinking of you during the Holidays. Help us get through the Holiday season. I saw Mary the other day at the Christmas Party. She held strong when told her they renamed the meritoriuos award after you. Travis recieved your first award and we couldn't be more proud. Your leadership in the A Platoon is what made Travis and the rest of us who we are today. I miss you big guy. Hope your having a nightcap for me. Till later. TIM

Hi Bill, It's me again. Friday is Mom's birthday. She doesn't want us to do anything for her as usual, but we will. I've been so amazed at her strength and bravery;I know you and Bud are with her. Please say a prayer for her up there and continue to help us all through our pain. I love you as always. Kath

Bill,
A blue light will shine in our window this Christmas to remember your sacrifice and the selfless commitment of every police officer before you.
Most of all, as Patrick said, "It will help us miss you and remember you."
