Joe- I can't believe it has been 2 years since I was blessed to have you in my life. You are thought of often, usually a memory followed by a chuckle. It would be nice if you could cool it with the weather every time we plan something for you; once again just trying to be the one with the last laugh! Miss you all the time!! All my love... Sherri

PS Kyle and Zach ask about you all the time and miss you!

Joe,
I realized today that I have thought of you each and every day since February 27, 2006.

Some days, it is with sadness for the loss to your family and how strong they must be…Some days it is with respect for the honor you have bestowed on a job that too frequently gets taken for granted…. Some days it is to question my faith, not understanding how , or moreso why this had to happen ….

But most days, I think of you because at least once a day, I may get stressed over something so small, or I get frustrated with my husband because we haven’t seen him in two days and he just took another shift, he won’t be home for dinner, or to tuck the girls into bed, or because he said something insensitive, and then you are right there, the memory of your death, this voice in my heart, to remind me of the bigger reality, and why we have to cherish every day we have with the people we love, especially if they are police officers.

You never knew me, but I will never forget you , Joe Corr, not even for one single day of my life. My husband, my children’s father, is a police officer, and I believe you will be in my life eternally to remind me, and every other family member of law enforcement how important your job is, and how fragile our life together is.

For that, you are a hero in more ways than you ever would have thought.

Peace to you and your family.

Joe and family,
It does not seem as though it was two years ago that you were taken away. The nights events and the days following often play in my mind with prayers for your family. It is almost as if time froze for that week I seem to remember every detail. Although I only met you once or twice there is not a day that goes by that you and your wonderful family are not in the thoughts and prayers of me and my family. You will never be forgotten.

Officer Corr- our son Andrew had a hockey tournament at the rink in New Hartford last weekend. Our daughter noticed a sign with your name on it above the ice at the rink. I told Andrew that you would help him skate and his team won the championship trophy! Thanks! Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you as you approach yet another anniversary. God Bless you Officer Corr and your entire family.

I WANT YOU TO LIVE
By: George Canyon

When she got the news
The phone hit the floor
She fell to her knees,
And cried his name

He had just kissed her lips,
And both of the kids
Their lives will never be the same

The end of her hardest day
The only words she could say were,
I want you to live,
I want you to love,
I want to go back to the way it was,
To hear you say my name again,
I want to see you smile again
I want you to live

It takes all of her strength
To go through his things
It feels like she's holding him again
The letters he wrote, books that he'd read
And some of his shirts still had his scent
The picture in Florida
She holds to her heart and cries out loud

I want you to live,
I want you to love,
I want to go back to the way it was,
To hear you say my name again,
I want to see your smile again,

Lying awake in the middle of the night
Trying not to let the kids hear her cry
She prays for an answer, some little of sign
And closes her eyes
And swears she hears him say,

I want you to live,
I want you to love
I want you to go on and not give up
I want you to live,
I want you to try,
I want you to know that I'm alright

I want you to fall in love again
I want to see you smile again
And again,
I want you to live!


To the family of Joe, just thought you might like this.

To the Corr Family,

As I reflect on the upcoming year, I think of your family and Joe. I never had the pleasure or honor of meeting Joe. I did however experience your families love and respect when myself and other members of my Department met you in the summer of 2006. I will always remember Joe and the sacrafice that he made.
I wish your family all the best in the upcoming year.

I never really got to know you,
and yet I "know" you loved me so.
My mommy tells me everyday,
"Your Daddy never ever wanted to go".

A bad man came and stole you from me.
I was only a baby, and life isn't fair.
He destroyed my entire world when he took your life.
I was robbed by a stranger, and he didn't care.

You were so brave and strong that night,
yet I wish you had been a coward and just ran away.
You became a town hero and everyone cried,
but you had always been my hero, each and every day.

I'm growing up fast, I'm very beautiful everyone says.
My hair is long and blond, and everyone loves its curl.
But what I want the most is what everyone else has,
I only ever wanted to be "Daddy's Little Girl."

I know in my heart, that's exactly what I will be.
You showed me so much love, my very first year.
I will forever be grateful to you for all you've done.
I miss you so much, and wish you were here.

So this poem I will end, but my love never will.
You can end a life but not the person's love.
Life took away my daddy but it can't take away his soul, that soul still looks down on me from above.

January 10, 2008

Joe,
I need to say goodbye although you're with me.
I stand beside your grave, yet you are here.
I miss you terribly and hope you miss me,
But when I turn to you, you're always near.
I talk to you as though you lived within me,
Not changed but simply moved in from outside.
I know each day you must a little leave me,
But here, as always, you must be my guide.
You were and are and will be, just as ever,
In many minds and hearts, not only mine.
No physical event can such love sever;
Death is a dimension, not a line.
And so goodbye does not mean you are gone:
So long as I still love you, you live on.

"The Badge"

He starts his shift each day
To respond to calls unknown.
He drives a marked patrol car.
A police officer he is known.

He's paid by the citizens' taxes
To make it safe on the streets.
But he usually has a second job
'Cause a waitress has his salary beat.

Now he doesn't know a holiday
'Cause he works all year round.
And when Thanksgiving and Christmas finally arrive
At his home he cannot be found.

He's cursed and assaulted often,
The one whos blood runs blue.
He seldom ever gets a thanks,
To some he's just a fool.

His friends are always other cops
'Cause people just don't understand
That underneath his badge and gun,
He's just another man.

He knows there might not be a tomorrow
In this world of drugs and crime.
And he gets so mad at the court system
'Cause the crooks don't get any time.

And each day when he leaves for work,
He prays to God above.
Please bring me home after my shift
So I can see the ones I love.

But tonight he stops a speeding car,
He's alone down this ole' highway.
It's just a little traffic infraction.
He does it everyday.

Well, he walks up to the driver's window,
And his badge is shining bright.
He asked the guy for a driver's license,
When a shot rang through the night.

Yes, the bullet hit its mark,
Striking the officer in the chest.
But the Department's budget didn't buy
Each officer a bullet-proof vest.

So he lay on the ground bleeding.
His blood wasn't blue - His blood was red.
And briefly he thought of his loved ones
'Cause in a moment the officer was dead.

In the news they told the story
Of how this officer had died.
And some who listened cared less,
But those who loved him cried.

Well, they buried him in uniform
With his badge pinned on his chest.
He even had his revolver,
He died doing his best.
